More Information

Overall condition is good. No denting, splitting or signs of repair to the body. General scratching, pitting and wear to the exterior consistent with age and use.

The handle shows quite moderate denting and mishaping. There is a moderate amount of splitting around the pierced decoration. The handle is slightly loose in it's setting but appears to be secure.

There is some moderate thinning to the pierced decoration on the legs, but no signs of splitting or repair. There is a very slight wobble when the basket sits flat on a level surface.

Glass liner in good order. Some small chips around the rim, but no cracks or major loss.
