Condition Report
The vinaigrette displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. A little bit more wear around edges, also some wear and dark marks to the interior gilding. Hinges are in working order, however the grille is a very tight fit and quite hard to open. Some rubbing and slight distortion to hallmarks but they are still legible.
