Condition Report
The jug displays general wear and areas of heavy tarnishing. There are also general surface marks and scratches, minor nicks and surface dints, all commensurate with the age and use. There are some larger dints to some areas, especially around the main rim and the foot rim. The foot rim is now quite misshapen, and there is loss of detail to the rim, which was probably once beaded. Flood of solder at base of the handle, possibly indicating a repair? Hallmarks are a little rubbed but still legible.
