Condition Report
The lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The lid to the teapot does not quite sit flush, handle a little loose, pins loose and the finial is loose and likely to be a replacement. The handle to the spirit kettle is also a little loose with the pins and ivory insulators loose. Ivory finial chipped and with hairline fractures. The base of the spirit kettle has deteriorated from the direct heat from the burner, distorting the plated marks in this area.
