Condition

One wine cooler lacking liner. One sauce tureen with one foot bent and therefore does not sit flat on an even surface. The four ring handles to the covers of the rectangular entrée dishes are badly fitting with signs of bruising and solder repair. Copper is showing through to the corners of one entrée dish covers. Three of the four warming stands are missing one small leaf-capped hinged cover to the spout ends. The meat plates all with typical knife scratching commensurate with age. The large and medium meat domes both with bruising and dents. Otherwise generally good condition for large scale and composition.
