Minor loss of definition to the bright-cut decoration, the silver-gilt bowls appear slightly dull, some heavier tarnishing to the twisted stem and around edges, the maker's mark on one spoon is rubbed and worn but possibly James Wakely & Frank Clarke Wheeler, the maker's mark on the other is indistinct, only a small corner visible. The soup ladle is engraved with a 'B' to the terminal. The sugar tongs have an engraved 'B' to the terminal cartouche. Majority of hallmarks clear and legible.
