Condition Report
The overall condition of the pieces appears fairly good, all displaying general wear including surface scratches, contact marks and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some slight dints and bumps. Broken and loose hinge to one of the mustard pots. The bowl of one of the condiment spoons is a little misshapen. Some rubbing and distortion to hallmarks and maker's marks but mainly still legible. Several rim chips to the glass liners of the mustard pots.
