Condition
Very good overall condition. Some rubbing and losses to the silver plate notably at the high points revealing the brass below which is visible in the catalogue illustration. Three of the cups have evidence of impacts to the rim of the bowls. Two of which are slightly out of round and would benefit from minor adjustment. Some minor scattered surface scratches.
