Condition Report:
- Both displaying a little general wear and tarnishing, with some surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use.
- Both hinged lids with some slight movement. Victorian example closes flush to lid. Lid of Edwardian mustard appears slightly off centre when closed rising a little on one side, hinge fitting is at a slight angle so possibly repaired?
- Seam lines visible to interior of both and on the Victorian mustard a patch or impression can be seen in the area of the join of the base of the handle, possible repair?
- Hallmarks a little rubbed, especially on the Edwardian mustard, but mostly clearly legible, including part hallmarks to both lids.
- Both spoons and glass liners generally appear in good order.
- Both liners are a good fit but cannot guarantee they are original to the pots.
- Condition reports are offered as a guide only and we highly recommend inspecting any lot to satisfy yourself as to its condition.
