The cream jug and mug are in fairly poor condition, heavy tarnishing is visible and both would benefit from a clean and polish. Both also display some surface dints and bumps, especially the mug, which displays several larger dints and also a fairly large patched in area. Personal engraving to the underside of the mug. Hallmarks on the mug are rubbed but still legible. Hallmarks on the cream jug are rubbed but legible, however the maker's mark is indistinct. The hallmarks on the sugar tongs are clear and legible.
