Condition Report
Vinaigrette displays some general expected surface wear, marks, nicks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. Also some tarnishing. Likely alteration or repair to hinge as there is evidence of previous seam lines of a different shape. Hinges do appear in good working order. Gilded interior is quite faded and worn with some heavier scratches and contact marks and dirt residues to interior rims. Hallmarks are quite rubbed and worn. Grille appears unmarked and is probably a replacement, there is damage around the hinge with bright copper coloured hinge pins showing.
