Condition Report
In fair to good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. It is likely that the wrythen fluted bowl is not original to the terminal on the 1796 example as the decoration isn't necessarily in keeping and there is a visible join/construction seam which can be felt to the back of the stem. The other caddy spoon has slight compression to the bowl from the heel which is starting to cause a fold across the silver, possible signs of a repair. The tines on the silver pickle fork are slightly bent and tarnished. Hallmarks clear and legible. This lot may have export issues, for customers outside of the EU, please note that it is the buyers responsibility to adhere to any import/export requirements.
