Condition Report
Condition overall is very good, with just two damaged items in this lot:

1. A teacup has got a small re-glued section near the upper terminal of the handle (photographed)
2. The sugar bowl is badly cracked. (photographed)

The remainder of the items are free from cracks, chips, damages or repairs. When looking closely with a loupe, several of the items have some very light or minor crazing - two teacups (just the bases); four saucers; one whole teacup (this is the one with the repair); cream jug with a small patch of crazing to the base; 1 side plate. 

Paying attention to the orange enamels, the service is in good order with no rubbing or losses, apart from the single side plate with crazing which has some wear to the sun (photographed).

Signs of use are minimal, where scratches are present they are very light - e.g. one or two superficial marks to the cake plate.

Please see the additional images.
