I'm eighteen and while I've never used a silver tea set for coffee, I have used it for tea.

A "tea set" will usually be of British manufacture (tea being the British national drink). If so then a silver tea set will have each piece hallmarked. The hallmark for silver is a small indented stamp made by the assay office. I include a link below.
The mark "1224" on a silver FB Rogers tea set typically indicates the model number or pattern of the piece. FB Rogers Silver Company, known for producing silver-plated items, used this numbering system to identify specific designs. This mark can help collectors and enthusiasts determine the age and style of the set, as well as its value in the marketplace. It's important to note that while FB Rogers items are often collectible, they are usually not made of solid silver but rather silver-plated.
Yes it is sterling silver
Tea sets are not usually made of solid silver throughout; instead, they are often made from silver-plated materials or a combination of metals. Solid silver tea sets are less common and can be quite expensive. Many tea sets are crafted from stainless steel or other metals with a silver coating to provide an elegant appearance without the high cost of solid silver. Always check the specifications to determine the material composition of a specific tea set.
Yes
There are many steps one can follow when taking care of a silver tea set. One should polish the set at least once a year with a soft cloth and silver polish. Harder cloths can damage the silver. Wash it out with water every so often and store in an air tight drawer.

The term "seranco" on an EPNS (Electro-Plated Nickel Silver) tea set typically refers to a specific brand or manufacturer associated with the production of the tea set. It may indicate a particular style or design attributed to that brand. EPNS itself denotes the composition of the metal used, which is nickel silver plated with a layer of silver to enhance durability and appearance.
