Purchasing information-
The claret jug appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. The silver collar mount appears tarnished and would benefit from a clean and polish. A few surface nicks to the glass body and stopper and some heavier scratches and contact marks to the underside of the base. Chips to the base of the handle. Some light rubbing to hallmarks but still clearly legible.
