Condition Report
The vinaigrette is in fair overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier wear around edges and corners and some minor nicks in the metal are visible. Also some loss of surface detail and definition to the decoration. The gilding is quite worn and faded but is still quite bright to the interior. The main hinge is in working order, however the grille hinge is broken on one side. Date letter is partly distorted and difficult to read. The other hallmarks appear a little rubbed but are all still legible.
