Condition Report
The service appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Some slight dints and bumps. Heavier tarnishing is visible, especially to the teapot, and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. Hinged lids appear in good working order. The hallmarks appear a little rubbed in places but are still legible.
