Condition Report
Appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some tarnishing and expected surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age. Interior was possibly once gilded but this has now faded. Seam line visible to interior. Some slight loss of detail to areas of high relief but the decoration appears in good order. One cartouche with name engraving, the other engraved in Spanish 'Un Regalo de su Padrino' (A gift from your Godfather). Hallmarks are located just below the rim and are clearly legible.
