Condition Report
Both pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to some areas and both would benefit from a polish. Some dints and knocks, mainly to the foot rim of the mug and around the rim of the trophy cup. One of the handles appears higher than the other. Likely small solder repairs to handles. The hallmarks to the mug are clear and legible. The hallmarks on the cup appear rubbed but legible, maker's mark partly worn.
