Total lot weight: No

In fair to good overall condition, both pieces displaying some tarnishing and some expected surface wear, marks and scratches. Also a couple of minor surface dints. The swing handle to kettle appears to lean very slightly to one side and there is a possible repair at the join of one of the handle supports to the main body. However it appears in good working order and is self supporting. Slight crack to the tip of the spout visible to the underside, possible repairs along seam line? The handle to the teapot is squashed and compressed into the main body and there is a small gouge in the metal. Both lids appear jammed in position. Assay marks are legible with some rubbing and distortion.
