Condition: very good - no major damage (no breaks, cracks, missing parts), slight fading on tins, and some wear on irresistible and ponds but nothing that deters from its timeless elegance and beauty.

This means any scratches, discolorations, or teeny bits missing --are all due to age and time on this earth.
