Condition Report
The tea set appears in good overall condition, all the pieces displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Minor surface dints. Hinged lids appear in working order. The interior of the cream and sugar were likely once gilded but this is now quite faded and the interior of the cream jug displays some tarnishing. Some slight rubbing and distortion but the hallmarks are all still legible, also part hallmarks to various parts.
