CONDITION:

Good antique condition overall, with signs of age and use. There is a small chip to the handle which should be clearly shown in photographs. The gilt decoration has noticeable rubbing and wear, particularly around the upper rim, consistent with age and previous use. There may also be minor surface marks and age-related blemishes. No major crack is apparent from the photographs. Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.
