Glass body in good order, no cracks, chips or losses. Heavy scratching to the base, light scratching throughout body. Some nibbling around the greek key decoration. Mount and handle show heavy wear and loss to the gilt, heavy scratching throughout, but no splitting, denting, major damage or repair.
