Overall in good condition. The surfaces with some surface scratches, light surface dirt and very minor abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The interior of the cover with minor wear to the cork. The catalin with minor surface scratches and surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. One of the feet of the tray with a minor loss to the interior, not visible when the tray sits on the table. A great service, the color of the Catalin contrasts beautifully with the silvered metal.
