Condition Report
Appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general expected surface wear, marks, scratches and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.
A few surface dints and bumps.
Interior heavily tarnished and stained. Also interior of lid heavily tarnished and some residues of gilding.
One putto with damage and repairs, flood of solder visible to one leg. This same putto no longer fixed to handle and will require some attention as evidence of a previous repair. There is also a break in the wreath. Other putto is still fixed to handle but also requires attention as it is very loose.
Lid appears a fairly good fit.
Hallmarked to base and repeated to the interior of lid with further part hallmarks to both putto and Lady Justice.
Lady Justice further marked with a French guarantee mark alongside the hallmarks. Additionally a further mark alongside both sets of main hallmarks, probably also French.
