Purchasing information-
The muffin dish displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Would benefit from a polish. Some surface dints and bumps and numerous heavier scratches and marks. Possible removal of crest to an area of the cover as the surface is quite uneven and dimpled. The cover does not sit quite flush to the base, although the cover does have matching part hallmarks. The hallmarks are clear and legible, the maker's marks are partly distorted. Also with crudely incised initials 'V K M'.
