Condition Report
The cup displays general scratches, marks and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use with numerous dints and bumps over the body. Please note the cup appears to have been refashioned with a number of alterations, as previously mentioned in the description the body has been later embossed, also visible are numerous oval panels which have been replaced around the body, the soldered borders visible more so to the interior but the seams also visible to parts of the exterior. An engraving has been removed from a cartouche, the silver in this area does now feel thin. The hallmarks positioned to the underside are slightly distorted but clearly legible.
