Condition Report
The viniagrette displays general wear, surface marks and scratches and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. There are remnants of polish in some areas. There are also some minor rim nicks. The hinges on the grille are in working order as are the hinges on the main lid. However the viniagrette does not close properly so that there is gap when it is closed. Hallmarks and maker's marks are rubbed but still legible, however it is difficult to read the date letter.
