Condition Report
The bowl displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Would benefit from a clean and polish. Some surface dints and bumps. Several heavier scratches and nicks. Possible repair around the base of one of the handles. Rim very slightly misshapen but the lid still fits quite well. Some heavier scuffs and contact marks to the underside. Hallmarks rubbed in places but still legible.
