All three pieces displaying surface wear, marks and scratches. Tarnishing to the silver mounts, especially the neck of the vanity pot lid, which is nearly black in appearance. Both mirrors displaying some surface dints and knocks around the edge. The mirror plate of the miniature example is a little loose in the mount. The tortoiseshell reverse of the large mirror is dull in appearance and would benefit from a clean. There is also a surface crack towards the top. The glass jar has a chip to neck rim and further minor edge nibbles. Some rubbing and distortion to hallmarks.  This item may have export issues, for customers outside of the EU, please note that it is the buyers responsibility to adhere to any import/export requirements.
