Condition Report
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.
