Purchasing information-
Both items display general wear, surface marks and scratches and some tarnishing. The christening bowl is slightly squashed on one side, near to the handle, so that the rim is now slightly misshapen. There is a noticeable dint to the underside and various other nicks, especially to the rim. One of the handles is coming away from the main body at the base. The nut dish displays various dints to the interior and exterior. Two of the feet appear to have been pushed in slightly and this is visible on the interior of the dish. Hallmarks to both are slightly rubbed but still legible.
