Purchasing information-
This mug is in good/fair condition. There are scratches and shallow dents caused by general wear and tear. There are some larger dents around the body . The inside of the mug looks as though it may have been gilded at some point, but this is very worn now. The inside is also tarnished and a little dirty in places. The engraved decoration to the top of the handle and the monogram are quite rubbed, but there is little damage to the embossed pattern. The base of the mug has some deep notches and dints, there is noticeable repair and damage where the foot meets the body of the mug, leaving the body more sunken into the base at one side and slightly off centre. The mug wobbles slightly. The hallmarks are rubbed but still legible.
