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.
In good country house condition.
There are the inevitable dents, marks, chips and scratches consistent with age and use.
Some scuffs and wear to the ebonised surface, particularly to the base.
There is a build up of dust to the interior and the lead lining is missing.
The brass handle is fairly tarnished and would benefit from a light clean.
Otherwise in ready to use condition.
