The teapot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some small dints and bumps visible. Likely small repairs around the fixing pins on the handle. Remnants of sticker/tape marks. Heavy staining to the interior. Knock to one of the feet so that it now wobbles a little when standing. Hinged lid appears in good working order. The hallmarks are clear and legible, slight rubbing to maker's mark.
