They are personally monogrammed on the front of the pot and top of the ladle handle with a Gothic letter D, otherwise, ithey show light wear from normal use and handling, including minor surface marks, scratches, and light dents around the bottom edge of the pot. They have been gently hand polished and ultrasonic cleaned in a mild dish soap, and they have nice shine, and are very clean. They are straight, not bent out of shape, handle and pot cover are tight and secure, with no major issues at all.
Lade is hallmarked on the back STERLING and the pot is marked on the bottom STERLING 310, while both are marked with the 3 geometric shape pictomark for historic and listed USA silversmith, Dominick & Haff of New York.
HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE: The last photo shown was taken from a 1920s jewelry trademark catalog and completely documents this mark and maker.
