We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
The smallest teapot: there are two sections which have been broken and restuck, the largest measures approx. 3 cm wide with a small area missing.
There are a few tiny nicks and chips to the rims of the other three covers. There is a minute chip to the tip of the spout of one teapot.
There is some minor surface wear particularly to the foot rims of each teapot.
Otherwise these are in overall fairly good condition.
