The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Presents well overall. Of double-walled form, the base with a very slight gap, however, seemingly okay. The rims very slightly out of round. With overall minor scattered marks, scuffs and surface scratches as to be expected from age and use.
