Condition Report
The vinaigrette appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and light tarnishing. Some slight loss of surface detail to some areas but it is generally still good. Also some deeper scratches and nicks to some areas. Hinges appear in working order, although there is a very slight gap remaining when in the closed position. The hallmarks, located to the interior, are clear and legible. Grille is further struck with the maker's mark.
