Edwardian silver bachelor tea service comprising teapot, twin handled sugar basin and cream jug,...

The three pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  Deeper scratches and minor nicks visible to some areas, also some seam lines are visible and there is some slight loss of detail to decoration in places.  Some minor surface dints and creases.  There are also remnants of polish to some areas.  There is a larger crease visible to the plain wide rim of the cream jug, below the lip.  The handles on the sugar basin are both now a little misshapen.  The hinged lid on the teapot is in working order, however there is a slight gap when it is closed.  The hallmarks appear quite rubbed in places but are still legible.
