Condition Report
The lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.
Heavy polishing with some loss of definition. A couple of cracks to the rim. Chips to the edge of the liners. Some heavy spots of tarnishing and discolouration. Hallmarks rubbed but legible. The liners are perhaps replacements, although of age, they appear a tad too small.
