Condition Report
In good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The foot is slightly compressed causing the mug to tilt and wobble. The circular body is slightly mis-shaped to the top rim. Heavier tarnishing and loss of definition along edges, corners and decoration. Hallmarks clear and legible, apart from the date letter which is slightly obscured between a C - 1870 or G -1874, alongside a Victorian registration mark.
