Condition Report
The cup displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Quite heavy tarnishing is visible and it would benefit from a clean and polish. Large dent to one side of the lobed lower body. Further dints and bumps to other areas. Several small dints around the rim of the lid and cup so both are a little misshapen so it is quite a tight fit. The lid finial is slightly pushed in. Some of the hallmarks appear rubbed but all are still legible, maker's marks are partly worn.
