Condition Report
The coffee pot sits flat on its base, the lid wobbles slightly on its hinge, the lid doesn't quite sit flush, there is very small gap at the front. The wooden handle and finial are in good condition. The hallmarks are rubbed, the hallmark on the lid more so, but they are still clear and legible. The main solder join running down the side of the coffee jug is visible, particularly from the inside of the jug. The detailing is slightly rubbed and there are gathered areas of polish. There are general light surface wear and tear scratches to the pot in keeping with the age and use of the piece.
