Purchasing information-
The teapot displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. The decoration appears in good condition. Heavy tarnishing is visible throughout and it would benefit from a clean and polish. Small dints and bumps to some areas. The hinged lid appears in good working order and it sits flush. The ivory insulators and pins are a little loose so that the handle moves a little bit. Residues of polish to some areas. The hallmarks are located to the underside and are clear and legible, part hallmark struck to handle and lid but these are quite rubbed.
