Condition

Overall in very good condition, displaying a beautiful rich original patina. The hand-hammered copper surfaces showing very gentle wear and light rubbing to the patina on the raised surfaces, and with some occasional light surface scratches and abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The interior flat recessed surface with some very old light surface scratches and a few minor surface abrasions from prior use, and with a very subtle ring mark along the interior perimeter border (adjacent to the outer raised rim).
