Condition Report
The dish displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. It is quite heavily tarnished throughout and would benefit from a clean and polish. A couple of small breaks in the pierced decoration. Possible small solder repairs. Marked to the underside of the rim in one place, some slight distortion but still legible.
