Condition Report
In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Remnants of polish in between the decoration, would benefit from a clean. Heavier tarnishing to the interior. The hinged lid does not sit well and needs to be pushed down to sit flush. Minerva standard guarantee mark clear, possibly equivalent to the lid which is indistinct, maker's mark beneath the base is slightly obscured but just about legible.
