Purchasing information-
In fair to good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Significant repair under the rim and down the front of the teapot to the edge of the spout join where a piece has been let in and solder on, the same to the opposing end under the rim and above the top handle join, both appear to run along the seam lines, further possible repairs around the join of the spout. The handle and hinged lid are loose with some sideways movement. The sugar bowl and cream jug has fairly bright silver-gilt interiors. Hallmarks rubbed and worn, clearest on the sugar bowl.
