Both are in largely good condition. The stopper of the caddy has been wrapped in Sellotape for some time, presumably to prevent it from falling out, this has left marks to the inside of the neck visible under blue light. There is some minor wear to the gilding and decoration. Very small chip and wear to the base. The scent bottle is largely good, a small chip present to the bottom of the stopper. There is wear to the gilding and some surface scratching apparent. Small chip to the base and some wear.
