Purchasing information-
The tea set appears in fair overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. A couple of dints to the teapot including a fairly large one. Further minor dints/bumps. Hinged lids appear in good working order and are struck with part hallmarks. Slight damage to some of the fixing pins around the ivory insulators so that the handle sections are a little loose. The hallmarks are clear and legible.
