Condition Report
Overall the lot is in good condition, with only general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with age and use. The ebonised handles are slightly dented, there is a hairline crack in the teapot handle and the coffee pot handle is loose enough to allow slight movement. Both hinged lids are slightly loose, allowing for movement from side to side. Stamped to the underside '18780' and to the coffee pot also 'Pat. Grid No.2034/09'. The hallmarks to both pots are heavily rubbed as are the maker's marks.
