There are some age cracks which were caused by the wood seasoning over two hundred years which all true antique examples have.This set has a wonderful deep rich patina.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
