Condition Report
The coffee pot displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible throughout and it would benefit from a clean and polish. The decoration appears in good condition. Likely solder repair at the base of the handle. Small dints and bumps visible to some areas and some knocks around the rim of the lid. The hinged lid appears in working order although it does not sit completely flush so that a small gap remains when closed. The fixing pins on the handle are loose so that the ivory insulators and handle are now a little loose. Remnants of a sticker mark and residues of polish to some areas. The hallmarks are located to the underside and are clear and legible, slight distortion to maker's mark. Further Duty mark to handle and interior of lid.
