Condition
The dragon head finial of the teapot is detached but present. Both the teapot and the coffeepot have a
prominent compression dent on the body around the lower circumference of the spout. Otherwise in
good condition with some expected bumps and dings consistent with age. Very nice chasing and detail.
Each piece marked on the underside "HungChong & Co." and in ideogram.
