The flatware was well packed, arrived safely . The seller was helpful in sending additional photos of the condition &that is appreciated as this isn’t a plentiful pattern . For that reason I paid a fairly high price . They were bought for someone else/not my pattern.These will likely work &will need to be buffed to remove scratches . I somewhat expected that but often when flatware is photographed its flaws look worse than they are in actuality , so it’s sometimes a surprise.I’d trade again .
