Condition Report
Both pieces display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with their age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible and both would benefit from a clean and polish. Some surface dints and bumps. Also a couple of knocks to the feet, mainly on the cream jug so that it now wobbles a little. The hallmarks are clear and legible.
