Condition Report
All four pieces display general wear, tarnishing and surface marks and scratches, all commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper, more visible scratches to some areas and also various minor nicks and small surface dints. The bowls have generally faired quite well, although there is more wear to the frilled edges. They were also probably once gilded but this is now worn. Some slight distortion in places but the hallmarks are mainly legible.
