Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.
Condition Report; We are uncertain as to whether the decorative piercing is of the period of the hallmarking or is perhaps an Edwardian embelishment, in part it looks a little crude, nevertheless they are an attractive lot. One handle is cracked through at the top where it meets the rim. The blue glass liners are probably 20th century, two of the glass liners are each chipped at one end
