Condition Report

Interior gilding is a little weak, there are traces of old sticky labels to the interior of base and to the underside, apart from a few minor surface marks, which are commensurate with age, the enamel is in good condition.  It would benefit from careful professional cleaning.  It looks to be in attractive original condition.  The suspension loop at the side is possibly a later addition
