Condition Report
The three pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and light tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches and minor nicks visible to some areas. Some minor dints, especially around the teapot spout. Hinged lid to teapot is in working order. Some of the hallmarks on the cream jug are very rubbed and indistinct. Rubbing to the other hallmarks, but they are still legible. Wear to the fruitwood handle and finial, they were likely once ebonised but this has now faded.
