Condition Report
The bowl displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Quite heavy tarnishing is visible throughout and it would benefit from a clean and polish. There are also remnants of polish to some areas and residues of some form of liquid spillage to one of the birds and into the bowl. On one of the birds, there is a break or split at the join of one of the clawed feet to the underside of the body. Some slight loss of surface detail or definition to decoration but it generally appears in good condition. Very small impressed marks to the interior of rim consisting of 925 and a further possible maker's mark, which is partly distorted.
