Condition Report
All the pieces display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Tarnishing is visible to the silver holders and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. Maker's marks etc to the undersides are clear and legible. General crazing to the porcelain, also spots and patches of discolouration to some. A few hairline cracks are visible. Glue repairs to one of the cups and a chip to the foot rim. Mintons printed marks are clear and legible. The porcelain liners do not fit well in the holders so are possibly not the original ones.
