Purchasing information
    The cosmetic pot is in overall good condition. The, probably molded, glass base has some small air bubbles, imperfections, surface scratches, and small chips to the whole, but no serious damage. The nail buffer is in good condition but is showing some signs of wear. The enamel is all intact, but the silver is discoloured in places and has some quite bad areas of tarnish. The suede buffer is dirty and has a ripped patch, and the wire used to keep it in place is bent but intact. The lid for the round pot is more damaged. There is a large chip in the enamel which has been covered over with what appears to be blue paint. Again, the silver is a little discoloured. Both hallamarks are rubbed but legible.
