Condition Report
The jug displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches and nicks are visible and there are also general surface dints and bumps. There is some loss of detail to decoration in places. Seam or construction marks are visible to the top of the handle. Interior was likely once gilded but this is now faded. Hallmarks are located at the top of the neck, they are rubbed but still clearly legible.
