The cream boat displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  A few of splits in the metal starting to appear around the frill rim.  The rim and pouring lip also appear to be a little out of shape.  Some slight knocks to the feet.  Rubbing to hallmarks and maker's mark is a little distorted, however they are all still legible.
