Purchasing information
    The tea set appears in good overall condition, displaying general tarnishing and some surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. Teapot has a very slight wobble. Hinged lid appears in good working order, although it rises slightly when closed. Splits to the wood finial. Some rubbing to hallmarks and maker's marks but still legible.
