Condition Report
In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some loss of definition and heavier tarnishing to the scalloped handle and edges. Some remnants of polish visible in the fluted bowls. The modern example has twin vacant cartouches, heavier tarnishing to the interior decoration. Hallmarks are clear and legible, with some minor rubbing to maker's marks.
