The mug appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general wear, surface scratches, marks and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some minor surface dints/bumps and slight knock to foot rim. Rubbing to raised decoration but it is generally still good. Interior likely gilded but this is now a little faded. The hallmarks are clear and legible.
