Condition Report
The mug displays general wear including surface scratches, marks, slight dints/knocks and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The foot rim is a little uneven and some small splits/ cracks starting to appear. Some damage and repairs to the base, visible as floods of solder. It is possible that a small piece has been 'let in' as a small patch is visible to the interior. These repairs are partly obscuring the hallmarks.
