Condition Report
The goblet displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing and staining to the interior. Some slight knocks to the main cup and it leans slightly. Seam mark visible to stem. Slight loss of definition to some of the beading. General nicks around the foot rim. It appears as though there are two foot rims, there has possibly been an addition to strengthen or reinforce as there are also remnants of glue visible. The marks are quite worn and partly distorted.
