Condition
Overall the condition of the silver is good with some wear and dirt to the surface consistent with age. There are some areas of tarnishing, particularly in the crevices, and there are some remnants of polish in the ungilt scroll work at the stem. The stem has a slightly rough surface due to some minor casting flaws. There are a few minor nicks to the surface, including to the lower edge and upper corners.
