All Silver plate and other metal pieces in my listings are of some age and generally have been used for the purpose for which they were made.For clarity within my listings the grading definitions I use which best describe the external qualities of each piece are as follows: (Internal condition will be listed on an individual basis) Very Fine - Extremely good condition with no detrimental issues - rarely found on antiques outside of a museum! Fine - Has signs of careful / respectful use with minimal surface scratches commensurate with age and such use. Very Good - Has no dings of any real consequence, few scratches (no more than expected through normal usage, that are not unsightly ) some rubbing of plate to the underside, due to extended aged use. Good - May have less than five minor dings and / or some scratching (more than normal usage) and / or minor pit marks, commensurate with long periods of use, but not considered too detrimental. Fairly Good - May have numerous (+ five) minor dings and / or some plate thinning and other signs of prolonged use which may include deep scratches and patches of pit marks to the plating. Reasonable - May have repairable / repaired dents or other issues and may / or will need replating, but is still of probable interest. Anything considered less than reasonable will not be listed in my auctions! I cannot guarantee the thickness of plating remaining. I strongly recommend that one uses a good quality silver cleaner sparingly. Once polished, the sheen can easily be maintained by simply washing in warm soapy water, and drying with a soft clean cloth immediately.
