Condition Report
All three pieces appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some expected surface wear, marks and scratches consistent with age and use and also some tarnishing. Decoration on the sugar tongs appears fairly crisp with only slight loss to surface detail, mainly on the grips due to heavier wear. Some slight rubbing but all hallmarks are still clearly legible. Suspension chains not hallmarked.
