condition
condition
The antique Victorian sugar bowl and cream jug are an excellent gauge of silver, excellent quality and in excellent condition. The engraved decoration is all very crisp.
Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each piece are all very clear; due to the nature of the rounded body the maker's mark has been poorly struck and is illegible.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these examples of antique silverware.
