In overall good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The set of three George IV are each initialled with the letter 'J?' to the terminal, with significant wear to the bowls/tips and the silver feels thinner, with some signs of splits and creases appearing along the edges, the fitted case has a stain to the top. The four George IV spoons are worn around the bowls, minor loss of definition to the rat-tails and the crests are significantly worn on the terminals. The soup ladle has heavier tarnishing to the interior bowl, the terminal is initialled with the letter 'C', the back of the terminal appears to have been overly polished. Majority of hallmarks clear and legible.
