Condition
Good condition and attractive in presentation. The silver with old scuffs to its surface from use and polishing. A small crack, posisibly original to casting, to the area where one foot meets the square base. Sturdy and stable nonetheless. The tap handle turns, but it's unclear if the vessel is usable or if the spout leaks. Some tarnish and polish residue present, but no other significant condition issues to note.
