Condition Report
The mug is heavily tarnished throughout and would benefit from a clean and polish, also some small green spots of tarnish visible. It displays general surface scratches, marks and wear in keeping with the age and use. There is a dint around the rim and several other small dints and bumps to the main body. The tip of the heart terminal is folded over slightly and there is a tiny split in the metal. The hallmarks are quite rubbed and partially distorted but still mainly legible.
