Condition Report
The vinaigrette appears in good overall condition displaying general scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. When the vinaigrette is fully shut the lid rises to one side not fully closing. The lid catches slightly when opening on the grille. The gilding to the interior remains relatively bright, deposits of polish to the pierced decoration. The hallmarks are lightly rubbed but clear and legible.
