Condition Report
The penguin appears in fair overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. It appears to be covered in various darker stains and these have worn away in some small areas. Also remnants of gilding visible. The tail appears a little short so is maybe missing the tip? The hallmarks are clear and legible, there does not appear to be a maker's mark.
