Condition Report
Both trays and plaques display general wear, tarnishing and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. Some scratches are more visible in places and there are various nicks and dints, especially to the copper rims. Some slight loss of detail to the relief moulded heads. One of the silver plaques has been removed so that it is possible to see the hallmarks, which are clear and visible.
