More Information

Body in good order, no major thinning, splitting or repair. Light denting, scratching and wear throughout the body, commensurate with age and use. The handle may possibly have been resoldered at some point. Moderate scratching and wear to the gilt interior. The base shows heavy denting, general scratching and wear and moderate loss of detail to the decoration. The base shows some misshaping, and as a result wobbles slightly on a level surface. There are possible signs of repair to the top side and underside of the base. See pictures for illustration.
