A George III silver four piece tea set.

All pieces appear quite tarnished and would benefit from a clean and polish. Displaying some expected surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. A few minor surface dints and bumps. Some visible seam lines with possible repairs. Interiors of tea and hot water pots heavily stained and dirty. Some damage around rims of spouts, more so on hot water pot. Also some damage around the fixing pins on the handles of both. The lower part of the handle on the teapot is covered in a black substance and spreads to feet, possible repairs? Both hinged lids appear in working order and close flush. The fixing screws to the finials are likely replacements and the mounts appear to be plastic? Foot on hot water pot is larger than the others. Hallmarks mostly clear and legible, some maker's marks partly rubbed.
