They are all in largely good condition. There is a small firing fault to the interior of the sugar bowl, as well as a small loss to the finial, there is also some wear apparent to the foot and the rim of the lid. There is staining to the bottom of one saucer. There is rubbing evident to the foot rims, but again largely minimal. There is another small area of staining to a saucer. Some cups need a clean. There is partial rubbing to the gilt across a number of pieces. Wear and a very small chip to the base of the small jug. The larger jug has a hairline crack to the base of the handle and a chip to one of its feet. A number of very small firing faults apparent, one visible to the rim of the 'Meissen' cup. There is a small loss to the finial of the coffee pot, there is also wear apparent to the inside where the lid fixes, and some wear to the foot rim. There is some rubbing to the gilding on the spoon tray and some  build up of dust in the folds, also very slight wear to the base. A number would benefit from a clean. Overall a very presentable service. 

*There has been a small restoration to the interior rim of the lid of the coffee pot, one of the small catches has been knocked off, please see extra image*
