Condition Report
In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The gilding on the berry spoons appears a little dull in appearance, both engraved with the initial 'A', remnants of polish visible in between the embossed decoration. Minor loss of definition to the planished spoon. Hallmarks clear and legible.
