Purchasing information-
This associated set is in very good condition. All the pieces are tarnished, the tea pot the most, and the milk jug the least. The tarnish on the tea pot is spotted and extensive. The interior of the pot is badly discoloured and stained from use. There are some cracks in the wooden finial on the lid, which is also stained with polish. There are some tiny hairline cracks in the handle, and a bit of dirt at the top. There are build-ups of dirt in the grooves on the inside of the sugar bowl. The gilding in this and the milk jug is very worn. The hallmarks are all legible.
