This set is in great antique condition especially for its age and use. May have typical signs of age and use such as light surface scratches, polish residue, etc. Part of one of the wingnut's wing is broken off (screws to underside of the finial), but is still functional on some of the items (see pics). The inside of the pots are very clean, with some lights staining, if any. The waste bowl has more staining (which is to be expected). No obvious damage. less
