Very Good. Only the teapot is engraved with the details. These all have tarnishing, a fair bit of scratching, a bit of flaking to the plating. Some dints to be found. A bit of grime as well. Fabulous, early and important piece of Melbourne history. Emerald Hill was the early name for South Melbourne. Grade: N/A Estimate: $200 - 300
