A very attractive coffee pot in absolutely original condition with no damage or repair.  The gauge of the silver is very good and the lid fits well with almost no movement to the hinge. The handle is firm with no cracks, chips or splits. A few very minor bruises to the  bulbous part of the body. The hallmarks are rubbed with the makers mark considerably worn. Lovely colour and patina.
