**In generally good condition with no dents, breaks or repairs noted. Mellow surface wear with nice patina. One foot is very slightly bent, causing one end to sit 1/16" out of horizontal. Significant fading to the gilding. Marks excellent. The spoons are in good condition as well, with nice, bright decoration; marks worn but legible. A very nice pair.
