Condition Report
The teapot is in fairly poor condition as it has been heavily repaired. The main repairs appear to be around the seam of the top rim as several large patches of solder are visible. There are also some other small splits in the seam visible. Also some similar repairs around the foot rim. Overall, the teapot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing, all commensurate with the age and use. Numerous heavier scratches and marks are visible, also some minor nicks and some surface dints and bumps. Some loss of detail to the decoration in some areas. The hallmarks are clear and legible, also part hallmarks to reverse of lid.
