Condition Report
Some expected rubbing with loss of definition to the Apostle, bowl and details of the spoon. Detail to the Apostle terminal remains. Engraving to the bowl reverse partly worn. Gilding remains to the spoon, one time perhaps re-gilded. Pitting visible to the top of the stem/base of the terminal plinth join. There is some wear to the bowl edges, particularly on the striking edges. Considering age, the hallmarks to the stem reverse appear in fair condition, the date letter and maker's mark distorted. The condition stated above is also demonstrated in the 9 additional images available to view online, if you would like any of the images in higher resolution or have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the department.
