The teapot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  Numerous deeper scratches, nicks and small surface dints and bumps are visible throughout.  A few larger dints are also visible.  Likely repair around the hinge, a flood of solder is visible and a cut out section to the reverse.  Some splits and creases in the metal around the tip of the spout.  One of the feet is bent up slightly so that the teapot wobbles a little when standing.  The hallmarks are clear and legible, some rubbing and partial distortion to maker's mark but still legible.
