Overall very good condition with scattered scratches and abrasions consistent with age and use. Scattered irregularities throughout the enamel, inherent to the making and not visually distracting. Interior presents with cracks, abrasions, and a large historic restoration, most visible under UV light, not visible when presented. Light rust on and surrounding copper lips, would benefit from a professional cleaning.
