Condition Report
All three pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. However the overall condition appears to be fairly good, with some deeper scratches visible to some areas and various minor nicks. Some splits in the ebonised finial on the teapot. Hinged lid in good working order. The hallmarks are mainly clear and legible, just the date letter on the teapot is quite rubbed. Lid also bears the standard mark.
