Condition Report
All the pieces in lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and some tarnishing. The open salt has a small section missing from the rim and there are a couple of dints/knocks to the base rim and feet. It also displays some heavier tarnishing and slight loss of surface detail to some of the decoration. The bowls of the spoons appear to have faired quite well, some minor bumps. Some light wear to maker's marks but they are all still legible.
