Condition
Overall in very good condition. The silver presents with a vibrant and delicate texture when viewed in person. The silver with minor surface scratches, a few minute abrasions and minor evidences of tarnishing consistent with age and gentle use. A wonderful set that epitomizes the artist’s poetic creations inspired by nature. -----
