The pepper displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  Heavier tarnishing to some areas.  Some small surface dints and bumps and a couple of knocks to the foot rim.  The lid was maybe once removable but it is now stuck in place.  The struck marks are quite rubbed and worn.
