Condition Report
All three pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to some areas and all would benefit from a polish. Some surface dints and bumps. Possible repair around the rim of the cream jug as there is some loss of surface detail. Hinged lid of teapot appears in good working order. Crack visible to wood finial. Wood handle is a little loose. Some of the hallmarks appear rubbed and maker's marks partly worn but mainly still legible. Also part hallmarks to lid.
