Tray - crack running across one angle from the foot. Two hairline cracks running approximately 4-5cm in from the rim on one angle on the rim, and on one shell handle. Teacups - all good, but with slight rubbing on the rims. NB one teacup is a replacement piece? as it seems to bear only the faint residue of a printed mark, but still bears part of a pattern number 2617. Saucers - all good. Sugar basin and cover - good. Milk jug - crack in top of handle with a chip emanating from that crack. Cover good. Slight rubbing of gilding. Teapot cover - two tiny flakes off inner flange of the cover, otherwise good. Subtle rubbing of gilding throughout the set but it is generally in good condition. 190911

We are happy to provide Condition Reports to prospective buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale. We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a Condition Report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage prospective buyers to inspect an item in person where possible. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers, or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

Regarding Pictures, Prints and Works on Paper, works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. Tennants Auctioneers do not cover damage to gilded wood or plaster picture frames, or to picture frame glass whilst the item is in our possession.

We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.
