1930's silver four piece tea service, comprising coffee pot, teapot, sugar basin and cream jug,...

All four pieces in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.   Some heavier tarnishing to some areas, especially on the tea and coffee pots, also deeper scratches to some areas and various minor nicks and surface dints and pitting marks.  Many of the solder joins are visible and the seam lines on the two spouts are clearly visible, on the coffee pot this is starting to develop into a minor split on one edge.  Both ebonised handles are loose in their mounts, especially the teapot handle.  Hinged covers are in working order, finial to coffee pot is likely to be a replacement as it is not conforming in shape.  The hallmarks appear slightly rubbed in places, especially the maker's marks, but all are still legible.
