Overall in good condition with scattered surface scratches and minor pitting. The tray with more significant wear, consistent with use. The sugarbowl and creamer with horizontal lines along the body of the piece from rubbing against the edge of the tray. The hinged top to the creamer is lacking a pin and therefore the entire top can be removed. The handle of the top of the sugarbowl is loose and with possible crack portion below the mount, which screws into the top, which has created the looseness. There is not damage the portion of the handle above the mount and therefore it does not affect the appearance of the handle. Areas of rubbing to the interior of the handle of the teapot.
