Description Please review photos. I have taken photos of the markings on the base/bottom of each piece. There is a little wear on the edges of the serving tray that is showing copper. I also noticed that the top cover handle is bent slightly. This has been in storage for 10 years and needs a good cleaning but I wanted to find out more and whether i should have it repaired and cleaned professionally. I have additional photos avialable.
