Purchasing information-
The christening mug is in fairly good condition. There are a large amount of surface scratches to the whole, as well as a lot of tarnishing. There are some slight shallow dents but these are not serious. The embossed decoration is rubbed which has resulted in some of the detail being lost, especially on the face and bodies of the figures. However, in the main the decoration is visible and relatively undamaged. The bottom of the mug is dented which means it stands slightly unsteadily. There are some tiny cracks to the top end of the handle, along with a patch of green discolouration. The hallmark is rubbed but still legible, although the sponsor's mark is indistinct. There are some pits and patches of solder on the inside of the mug where the handle is joined on.
