Condition Report

Appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some tarnishing, heavier to some areas, also some expected surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. Slight rubbing and loss of surface detail to areas of the decoration but generally still good. Interior likely once gilded but now quite faded. Residues of polish. Hallmarks rubbed but legible. Maker is probably William King or William Knight II.

Engraving reads 'Eliza. Newman. Mayo the Gift of her Godfather, L. G. Newman 30th May 1831.'
