Condition Report
The vinaigrette is hallmarked to the lid and main body, the hallmarks are very rubbed but still legible. The hinge of the grill is broken and the grill is loose. The detailing is still quite fine. There are general wear and tear surface scratches to the piece. It would benefit from a clean. There are some areas of tarnishing to the inside corners and edges. The vinaigrette does not close completely flush. The gilt interior is still quite bright but tarnished. There are some small nicks to the edges of the grill.
