Teapot displays general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use.  Various minor nicks and dints in the metal and also some surface dints.  Possible repairs to spout, seam line visible towards the tip.  Also possible repairs to the handle.  The main part of the handle is fitted between two ivory or bone mounts, the pins are now loose so the handle is also now loose.  Solder marks are also visible near these two mounts and there is also a large discoloured area to the centre of the handle.  Hinged cover in good working order.  Hallmarks are clear and legible.
