Overall signs of age and use. Surface scuffs and scratches. No evidence of repairs or restoration. Small amount of wear to the lower edge of the bowl. Crisp hallmarks. Apostle finial well cast. A nice early example.

Some surface wear and marks visible throughout (consistent with age). There is a small kink to the bowl lower left (around the 7 o'clock position). Attractive patination throughout. In overall good condition for a piece of this age.

Makers mark appears to be that of John Delmestre, London, reg 1755. Numerous dents to the body, smaller dents to the cap. Discolouration where the body meets the cast foot, this is also evident to the inside base of the foot, the foot possibly resoldered and is heat discolouration. Owners initials to the inside of the foot. Small hole in the body where the bottom blaster meets the turned decoration in the middle of the shaker. An early nice example but with condition issues.

No evidence of repairs or restoration, there are numerous holes in the repousse decoration where this has been either struck too deeply or rubbed through due to cleaning. Overall scuffs and scratches as expected with age. One silver top of the vinaigrette bottle in poor condition, discoloured and dents and with several chips to the bottle. The smallest bottle of different design, possibly a good matching replacement. The other bottles in matching design have some with signs of age and wear, as well as chips and losses. Attractive but fair condition only.

Snuffer appears to be a silver-plated replacement. The stick, handle, and pan are once piece as originally made and hallmarked to the underside, the removable drip pan with matching hallmark to the collar. Small old hole below the gadrooned decoration.

Some very minor losses to the enamel decoration to the extremities on the lobed lid. The enamel and coral decoration to the overall piece is intact and presents well. Some very minor indentations to the mesh body. Gilt wash finish lightly rubbed and tarnished, would respond well to a clean. A fine piece in very good overall condition. No evidence or repairs or restoration.

No evidence of repairs or restorations. Several losses of enamel decoration to the lower band/collar. Gilded decoration slightly rubbed. An attractive piece.

Appears to be complete and in good order with no signs of any significant damage or defects.

The snuff spoon attractive no evidence of repairs or restoration. The crystal bottle, most likely English, in original condition, the spoon ill fitting. Bottle and spoon are most likely associated.

No repairs or restorations. A true matching set each with matching assay hallmarks and makers marks.

Some surface wear visible throughout (to be expected). A couple of minor pin head sized dents to the tray. Sugar basin appears to have been dropped at some stage as there is a kink to the base of the piece, however this does not appear to visually affect the piece when displayed. Sugar tong has a slight kink and crease to the neck of one end and would benefit from a delicate restoration. All ivory components are complete and in very good condition, however all ivory displaying shrinkage cracks as is always the case with piece of this age. These should be clearly visible on the images online. Beautiful patination throughout, in our opinion a very good example.

Small circular frame, original condition no repairs or restoration. The rear with ribbon stay absent, would benefit from a clean; The rectangular engine turned example, with minor dents and knocks to the corner of the silver frame, would benefit from a clean. The velvet back rubbed and dirty with a hinge loose; the other rectangular frame with minor scuffs and scratches would benefit from a clean. Rust to the rear wooden frame corner brackets. Three good honest examples.

Poor condition with replacement handle. Has been scoured.
