Condition Report
Body rings sound when tapped. Top rim in good order, with only very minor surface scratches and abrasions in places; heavy wear to the underside of the foot, consistent with use over time. Signature and model number legible. Very light wear to body in places and two minor 'flea bight' losses to one thistle head and to one moulded leaf, however the moulded decoration is generally in good order. Overall good order.
