Condition Report
The coffee pot is in fairly poor condition as it has been heavily repaired. The main repair appears to be around the join of the foot to the underside of the main body as there is a flood of silver to a very large area. There is also a repair just below the handle, a circular disc appears to have been patched in. There appear to be further repairs at the base of the handle and also at the base of the finial. The overall general condition displays surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. There are also a number of surface dints and bumps. The hallmarks appear rubbed and a little distorted but still legible, also part hallmarks to the lid.
