Condition Report
The cup and cover displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Some quite heavy tarnishing is visible throughout and it would benefit from a clean and polish. Various surface dints and bumps and nicks around the rim. Three notable solder marks to the underside of the foot where it was probably attached to a plinth? Larger dents and knocks around the rim and flange of the cover. It is now slightly misshapen and so does not sit flush to the body. The hallmarks are clear and legible, maker's mark a little worn.
