Purchasing information
    All three pieces in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches and marks are visible. Also some surface dints and bumps, minor ones to the teapot and sugar but a number of larger dents are visible to the cream jug. Some of the hallmarks are quite rubbed but still just legible. No visible maker's mark to cream jug and maker's mark to sugar is very distorted.
