Condition Report
The pair of serving spoons appear to be in overall good condition. There are light surface marks and scratches and some minor rim nicks, especially around the spoon bowls. Remnants of polish in some areas. The gilding is not as strong on the foliate terminals, so it has possibly worn away from this area. Some pitting and speckled casting marks to the reverse of the spoons and also some staining marks. Seam lines have become visible between the bowl and stem. Hallmarked to the reverse of each spoon bowl, both sets clear and legible. The case is in generally good condition.
