Condition Report
<li>Both displaying general surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with their age and use.
<li>Both also quite heavily tarnished and would benefit from a clean and polish.
<li>Both appear with some likely repairs, mainly around the handle joins.
<li>Damage appears more significant to one cup, as there is a repaired rim split/crack in the same area as the join of the handle. On the other side, there is an area of a much lighter tone to one side of the lower join of the handle so further likely repairs in this area. This cup also appears a little squashed so that the rim is not quite circular.
<li>Both with a very slight wobble.
<li>Some floods of solder visible to the underside of both. And visible seam lines around the stems.
<li>Hallmarks a little rubbed and distorted.
<li>Condition reports are offered as a guide only and we highly recommend inspecting any lot to satisfy yourself as to its condition.
