Condition
Overall in very good original condition. Each work displays a few minute surface scratches consistent with gentle use and handling. The plating throughout is in very good condition, with a minor area of rubbing to the immediate top edge of the coffee pot consistent with handling. The handle of teapot with a minute dent adjacent to the top joint. The underbases of the elements with minor nicks and scratches that not visible once the pieces are righted. A wonderfully modern complete service showing an intricately detailed decorative scheme.
