Condition Report
The coffee pot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Several dints and bumps and heavier scratches and marks to some areas. Possible repairs to handle joins as glue is visible. Also a repair to the screw fixing of the finial, visible to the interior of the lid. Hinged lid in working order, although a little loose and a slight overhang. The open end of the spout is a little misshapen with a couple of splits starting to appear. Some rubbing but the French hallmarks are still legible. The maker's mark to the underside is partly distorted and difficult to read.
