Condition: Period pieces, they are offered in excellent original condition. They have been left unpolished to preserve the patina for the buyers polishing preferences and future generations. They will polish up nicely if you so choose. For accuracy, there is a small soft dent in the lid of the tea pot else wear is commensurate with age and to be expected. The handle wrap is perfect, the hinge and lid work well.
