George III silver wine funnel by Peter & Ann Bateman

The item displays general wear commensurate with the age and use.  There is a little bit of tarnishing and also general surface marks and scratches and some nicks/dints in the metal all over.  Some of these scratches are more visible, especially to some areas of the strainer.  The seam line is just about visible on the funnel and the silver has lifted slightly around the rim so that there is now a small visible gap.  The circular rim on the funnel is very slightly misshapen, as is the rim on the main strainer.  On the underside rim of the strainer, the outer silver rim is coming away slightly from the inner supportive rim, so there is a gap in places.  The hallmarks around this rim are rubbed but still legible.  There are part hallmarks to the funnel, which are also rubbed but still legible.
