Purchasing information-
In overall good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The berry spoons look to be altered from table spoons with later decorated, as there is slight variance between the lengths and engraving, one bowl still has signs of gilding, each engraved with 'C' or 'L'? to the terminals. One of the teaspoons has a small split across the top of the heel join where it has been squashed. The condiment spoons have various dates and maker's mark, one with blue enamelled decoration and marked Sterling Norway. Majority of hallmarks clear and legible.
