Condition Report
In fair to good overall condition, all three pieces displaying general wear including surface scratches, marks and some tarnishing, all commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches and nicks visible to some areas, also some slight surface dints. Impressions from some of the feet are visible. Hinged lid to teapot appears in good working order. Some slight splits in wood mounts. The wooden section of the teapot handle is a little loose. The hallmarks appear rubbed with some distortion but are mainly still legible. However, the date letter to teapot is illegible.
