Condition Report
The item displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to some areas. Several larger and deeper scratches are visible, also some minor nicks and heavier contact marks. Some minor surface dints. The hinged lids to the pots are in working order. The pots are screwed to the base, however one of the screws cannot be fixed tightly so one of the pots is only loosely fixed. On the underside, ring marks are visible around the screw fittings. Minor edge and rim nicks/chips to the glass pots. The hallmarks are clear and legible, also part hallmarks to both inkwells.
