The handle is also broken towards the base. Metal is of a thin gauge. Hallmarks are partly rubbed and distorted. The other pieces in the lot display general wear, surface marks and scratches and some quite heavy tarnishing to napkin rings and one of the pairs of sugar nips. Hallmarks are mostly legible.
