Condition Report
The spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The metal of the bowls feels quite thin around the edges and some minor dints and rim nicks are visible. Some wear and fading to the green stain on the ivory and a crack is visible towards the tip of one. On another handle, there is a repair at the base. Contact marks are also visible at the base of each handle, likely caused by the silver mount. There is some wear and slight distortion to the hallmarks, but they are all still legible.
