More Information

One example shows signs of damage and repair to one of the handles. When viewed from above, the gap between the damaged handle and the opening is much more narrow. There is also solder repair marks visible to the underside (see pictures). The other handle has a crack developing where the handle meets the neck.

The other example has possible signs of solder repair beneath the rim where the handles meet the neck (see pictures). There are cracks developing on both handles where they meet the neck (see pictures).

Both examples show small dents and a moderate amount of scratching to the bodies and handles. No splitting or punctures other then those already stated. Hallmarks to both are worn, but are legible (additional images are provided).
