Condition
Overall good, usable condition. Faint areas of tarnish as well as polish residue scattered throughout. The repousse detailing obscures any significant scuffs or scratches to the silver but also makes it somewhat more difficult to polish. Old splits and discoloration to the thermal insulators on the teapot's and coffee pot's handles. The tray is marked 'Sterling' and with initials 'F&F' to underside.
