Appears in fairly good overall condition, all pieces displaying some tarnishing and surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. A few minor surface dints and bumps. Feet display a number of cracks. Some rubbing and slight loss of detail to areas of the decoration but generally still ok. Some wear and a little fading to areas of the gilding. Possible repair to one of the spoons as a crack through the upper section and crest and crest is very rubbed. Hallmarks are a little rubbed and distorted, especially maker's marks, but all still legible.
