Condition Report
All three pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Deeper scratches, nicks and contact marks are visible to some areas. Some small dints and bumps including a couple of notable ones to the base of the teapot spout. A couple of very small splits are starting to appear in the crimped rims and also to the rim of the spout. The wood finial to the teapot lid is not ebonised to match the handle, possibly a replacement? Some rubbing and wear to hallmarks but they are all still legible.
