Condition report:

The items in this collection generally appear to be in good used condition with surface dust throughout. The cardboard packaging for the glass tray and the oil burner shows visible shelf-wear, scuffing to the edges, and minor creasing (photo 1). No chips or cracks are visible on the Aylesford stoneware vase (photo 6) or the studio pottery jugs (photos 7, 8, and 10). The brass items show typical surface tarnishing consistent with age.
