Purchasing information-

Heavier tarnishing around edges and to the feet and decoration. The silver-gilt interiors are quite bright. Minor bumps and dents throughout. The engraved cartouches are slightly worn, one with a dent to the middle. Maker's marks partly obscured, possibly David Hennell I, other hallmarks slightly rubbed but still just legible.
