Condition Report
All pieces display general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. However they do appear to be in generally good condition. There are remnants of polish in several areas. There is some minor damage in places to the wirework grilles and also to the chains. The glass dishes are in generally good condition with light surface marks and scratches and minor rim nicks. The trumpet shape vase is possibly a matched replacement as it fits loosely in the holder and the wirework grille is too large for it. The hallmarks and part hallmarks are still clear and legible and the wirework grilles are also hallmarked.
