Condition Report
The mug displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some dints and bumps and slight knocks to the foot rim. The metal feels quite thin at the centre of the engraved crest and there is a small crack starting to appear through the 'W'. This is also visible to the interior. Some loss of definition to the handle terminal and thumb rest. Hallmarks are quite rubbed and partly worn, maker's mark is also just visible to the handle but difficult to read clearly.
