Condition Report
Each spoon displays general wear, some tarnishing and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches in places and various minor nicks in the metal. The once gilded bowls are now very faded with not much gilding remaining and there is slightly more wear to the tips of the bowls. The monograms to each terminal are different. Some distortion to maker's marks, especially on one of the spoons, but other hallmarks are very clear.
