Condition Report
The lot appears in good overall condition, all pieces displaying some general wear including surface scratches, marks and some tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Hinged lids appear in working order, however there are some splits, cracks and repairs to the finials. On the teapot, the wooden section of the handle is a little loose. One of the keys on the stand is a possible replacement as it has a different maker's mark. The hallmarks are clear and legible, just some slight rubbing. Corresponding part hallmarks. Also with impressed maker's name to the underside of each.
