Hi!

I searched the net and found now "Wachtersbach" is famous WMF. (Please correct me if I am wrong.) I saw some tea sets and sugar pots on eBay or other auction sites, but I have never seen anything like this.

I wonder how much it's worth and this set is really from 1856. It looks like brand new (except the faucet). I greatly appreciate any help!
