The vase displays some expected general wear, tarnishing, surface marks and scratches. Interior was likely once gilded but this is now faded. A few minor dints. The hallmarks are clear and legible, main rubbing is to the leopard head. There is still a metal bracket attached to the underside indicating that it was probably mounted on a plinth.
