It would be very luxurious to use them as a trio. I think it's a wonderful item just to display in a cupboard as interior decoration. I received these as a gift and they were carefully stored in a cabinet. The condition is very good, and it is a valuable item that will be difficult to obtain in the future. The gold trim shines beautifully, so why not display it as an antique interior and admire it? There are some age-related scratches on the edges. Please understand that these are antique items and old.
