A George III Irish silver tea service.

All three pieces display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with their age and use.  They are all quite heavily tarnished and would benefit from a clean and polish.  Some minor dints and bumps.  The hinges on the teapot lid are in working order but quite loose.  The silver handle section between the ivory insulators is also fairly loose and there are likely repairs around the pins at the joins.  Loss of definition to engraved crests.  The sugar bowl and cream jug wobble a little on their feet.  The teapot bears a later inscription to the underside 'June 7th 1883'.  Some slight rubbing and distortion but hallmarks are all still legible.
