Condition

Good overall condition. The silver presents with tiny nicks and some light surface scratches, consistent with age and use. There are a few rare and tiny irregularities to the silver, inherent to the making. There are more significant scratches on the underside and around the screws holding the handles. The liner is in silvered metal and presents with some surface scratches, a few scuffs with losses of silver (inherent to use) and with some pitting of oxidation.
