Condition Report
In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Would benefit from a clean and polish. A possible engraving has been removed beneath the base of the bowl and jug with file marks visible. Visible scratches to the silver-gilt interiors. The sugar bowl is likely to have had a lid which is not present. The teapot has heavier tarnishing to the lower body with a minor dent visible and heavier wear to the interior. Maker's mark partly rubbed, but hallmarks still legible.
