Condition
Overall very good condition. With some minor surface scratches from gentle use. Each of the pieces with tarnish, some with considerable tarnish easily removed by cleaning and polishing. There are two non-Henning Koppel designs in the set, which are presently counted in the serving pieces of this lot. This lot contains two salad servers with thermoplastic elements, and one additional thermoplastic spoon lacking handle. A very nice large service.
