Purchasing information-
The teapot is in good overall condition. There are surface scratches, scrapes, and patches of tarnish to the whole, along with some small dents and dints. The top lip of the spout is bent inwards, and there are some bends in the floral rim. The legs are scuffed and pitted, and they are slightly bent, meaning that the teapot stands a little unsteadily. There are some scuffs to the ebonised handle and finial, and a mark to the handle where the lid rests when open. The hinge of the lid is in working order but is a little loose. The lid fits well. The inside of the teapot is very tarnished. The hallmark is rubbed but clearly legible.
