A 20th century Dutch silver teapot, the compressed oval form with decorative moulding to spout...

The teapot displays general wear and surface marks and scratches.  There is also some tarnishing.  There are some small dents to the main body and various other minor dints/nicks and pin prick marks.  The ribbed detail on the neck rim is very worn and the foot rim is very slightly misshapen.  The wooden part of the handle is loose in its mount, especially at the base where it is not fitted in properly.  The circular wooden finial to the lid has a large chunk missing from its base.  There are some nicks and small dints around the rim of the lid, and also around the inner rim, so that it is slightly misshapen.  However it still sits well in the teapot.  All the marks are clear and legible.
