Condition Report
The pepper displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to some areas. Some small surface dints and bumps and a couple of knocks to the foot rim. The lid was maybe once removable but it is now stuck in place. The struck marks are quite rubbed and worn.
