Purchasing information-
The goblet displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Very heavy tarnishing to the interior and the whole would benefit from a clean and polish. Some slight knocks/dints, some are visible to the cartouche. The family crest engraving is a little worn but still clearly visible. The engraving on the other cartouche is almost completely worn away. The goblet leans very slightly to one side. It also wobbles a little. The rim is slightly misshapen. The hallmarks are clear and legible.
