Condition:
All pieces are very tarnished and would benefit from a good clean. The teapot has an engraved monogram to one side and an engraved initial to the other side. There are several small dings to the area of the latter. Scratches to the base. The engraved decoration is a little tired in places. A few minor dings elsewhere around the body. Base of handle has been pushed into the body slightly. Handle a little loose in situ. Hallmarks clear. Handle unmarked. Small piece of an ivory insulator is missing. Cream and sugar have the same engraved initial and monogram and similar minor wear to the engraved decoration in places. Clear hallmarks on both.
