Condition Report
The mug displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Quite heavy tarnishing is visible to some areas and it would benefit from a clean and polish. The main rim is very slightly misshapen near to the thumbpiece. The underside of the thumbpiece and the top of the handle are very black in appearance, maybe a possible repair? There is some slight loss of definition and rounding to the beading but it is generally still good, as is the strapwork decoration. A couple of slight surface dints and bumps. Some of the struck marks are a little distorted.
