The mug displays general wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Also general surface marks, scratches and pitting. A seam line is visible on the side where the handle joins the main body. Residues of polish. The engraved decoration appears in overall good condition. The hallmarks are a little rubbed and the maker's mark partly distorted, but all still legible.
