The item displays general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age.  It is also quite tarnished all over.  There are some minor nicks and also some small dints, especially around the foot rim.  There are several small dints visible on the underside of the mug.  The main rim is also very slightly misshapen.  Hallmarks are slightly rubbed but still clear and legible.  It is also stamped 1851 to the underside.
