This lovely drinking cup is in good condition. Good clear marks underneath. The gilt interior is bright, there is a small amount of wear to the outside as you'd expect from an article of this age. One very small fault around the top rim. Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item.
