Purchasing information-
All the pieces appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying expected general tarnishing, surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. The bowls of the berry and sifter spoons were likely gilded but this is now faded. Otherwise bowls have generally faired well. Grape scissors appear in working order. Hallmarks are mostly clear and legible with some rubbing and slight distortion. Some wear to plating on the nut crackers.
