Dining at Home

The service appearing in overall good and ready to place condition. All items appear free of dings and dents. The repousse decoration is attractive and bright. All items exhibiting minor tarnish to the recesses. The teapot, coffee pot, and creamer with a bit more tarnish to their handles, the teapot also with more tarnish to its spout. 

The handles all feel sturdy and usable. The floral form finial at the lid of the teapot is slightly loose and would benefit from tightening. The teapot and coffee pot with a few discolored cracks to the thermals at at top and bottom of their handles. The coffee pot with a visible seam to the footrim, likely from production. The creamer with one minute nick to the interior of the pouring spout.
