This is a beautiful set and makes a great display. It is about 100 years old. The reason I labled it as "good" condition is because there are some problems with the finish in spots. The tray has a thin line of corrosion around the bottom inside rim and some spots on a 5 or six inch area on the outside rim also. Almost all of the cups have several thin cracks in the finish. It is hard to get them to show up in the pictures because the cracks are so fine. I filled up one of the cups with water and let it set. There was no leaking. Most of the cups have tarnish spots inside them that need to be cleaned. The punch bowl has no major issues. It just has some scratches from normal wear and tear. Even with the problems, it still makes a beautiful display. I do not have the original ladle, but I will include the 1847 Rogers Brothers Continental Silverplate ladle that is in the picture. I think it is a soup ladle, but it fits.
