Condition report:

The silver plated items show varying degrees of surface tarnishing and wear to the plating, particularly visible on the tea service items and small frames (photo 3). The tobacco tin exhibits surface rust and paint loss to the lid and sides (photo 1). The stained-glass box appears intact with no visible cracks to the panels (photo 3). The ceramic items show no visible chips or cracks, although the Gitt pottery piece has light surface staining to the underside of the base (photo 5).
