All pieces in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  Deeper scratches and various minor nicks to some areas.  Several surface dints visible to the top of the lid of the mustard pot.  Some small dints also visible to the underside of the pair of pierced salts and some minor ones to the main body of the other pair of salts.  The vesta case is very tarnished and would benefit from a clean and polish.  The tea strainer also displays some small dints and knocks to the rim, which is now a little misshapen.  General expected wear to the bowls of the condiment spoons and also to the cake slice.  General chips to the glass liners/inserts, and a large chip/piece missing to the glass liner of the mustard pot.  Some rubbing to hallmarks but all are still legible.
