Condition Report
Both items display general scratches, marks and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The sugar bowl displays a dent to the rim, a few minor tears to the frilled rim detail and remnants of old polish to the embossing. The overall shape of the bowl at the rim is oval, this is possibly not as made. The cartouche is currently vacant and the hallmarks clear and legible, the makers mark partly rubbed. The bowl to the sifter spoon has previously been gilded, this has now worn, also remnants of old polish to the fluting and detail. The hallmarks on the spoon are clear and legible.
