Condition Details:
This set is structurally sound and presents wonderfully, though it bears a few honest signs of age:
- Glass: Excellent, perfect condition. No chips, flea bites, cracks, or cloudiness.
- Copper Holders: Five are in beautiful condition with normal scuffs to bottom. One cup has a few surface marks/scratches on its bottom underside base (not visible when resting upright).
- Mirrored Tray: The glass mirror insert is starting to show a lovely aged patina, with some visible desilverization (silver coating coming off the back of the glass) along the edges and surface, typical of vintage mirrors. When I tip it back and forth I can hear something small slide around inside the tray. The glass is broken no where. I thought maybe someone hid something, but you would have to take it apart to find out. My guess, is that its just a little piece of the silver or nail that has worked loose behind it.
No manufacturer markings are present on the glass or metalware.
