Condition: very good - no major damage (no breaks, cracks, missing parts), slight fading/scritches on tins, and some wear on irresistible and ponds but nothing that deters from its timeless elegance and beauty. (all vintage and antique items are selected for their above-average condition for their age, well-loved, and cared for). Vintage: almost everything listed is from the 20th century or earlier. This means any scratches, discolorations, or teeny bits missing --are all due to age and time on this earth.
Only pieces that have been loved and well cared for are listed but time does have a way of happening, and deterioration may occur. Unless kept in a china cabinet like many of my pieces.
