Condition Report
In overall fair condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The hinged lid of the teapot is very loose with sideways movement, requires attention, the wood handle overlaps the top silver mount, one of the front feet compresses slightly into the body, possible signs of repair around the back foot. Hallmarks on the cream jug are rubbed and worn, date letter indistinct, other hallmarks clear and legible. All pieces would benefit from a clean and polish.
