Condition Report
The vesta is quite tarnished all over and displays general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. Some minor surface nicks and dints visible, especially around the edges. Some slight loss of detail to the decoration in places. Hinged lid and clasp are in good working order, although there is a very slight gap when it is closed. Contact marks to flange. Hallmarks are clear and legible.
