Condition Report
Some expected rubbing with loss of definition to the Apostle, bowl and details of the spoon. Much of the detail to the Apostle terminal remains. Doming of the nimbus. Slight traces of gilding to the terminal. Heavier scratches to the inner bowl. There is some wear to the bowl edges, now a little asymmetrical in appearance. 'V' joint visible to the top of the stem/base of the terminal plinth, with a touch of pitting. Considering age, the hallmarks to the stem reverse appear in most clear and legible. The condition stated above is also demonstrated in the 9 additional images available to view online, if you would like any of the images in higher resolution or have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the department.
