with glass liner

Overall in very good condition. The silver surfaces with minor surface scratches, scuffs, and rubbing concentrated to the protruding areas of the design and to the edges of the undersides, consistent with age and gentle use and as visible in the catalogue illustration. There is scattered tarnishing to the exterior and more pronounced tarnishing to the recessed portions of the interior and underside. The glass liner with minor surface scratches and surface soiling to the interior, some scattered nicks to the edges, and two isolated instances of residue to the interior walls, the largest measuring approximately 7/8 inch long. A finely executed and functional form with pleasing symmetry.
