Condition
Excellent. There are a few minor places of wear in the gilding on the highlights and from general use. There is one larger patch of wear (see photo below) to the gilding on one side of the outer rim however this blends in very well with the overall appearance. 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.
