Condition Report
The jug displays general wear including surface scratching, marks, minor nicks and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Denser, heavier scratches to the vacant cartouche, especially one of them. Some loss of detail to the surface decoration. The hallmarks are located along the foot rim. As they appear to have been cut off it is possible that the foot has been ground down? Solder lines are visible around the base of the short stem as it joins the base.
