Approximate Measurements:
W: 30.5cm (12") at widest point
D 23.5cm (9.25") at deepest point
H: 23cm (9") including handle
Condition:
It is in excellent antique condition, especially considering its age with no major damage of note. As to be expected from a piece of this age, made from silver plate, it has a very aged patina and oxidised surface, leaving (in our opinion) a beautiful rustic weathered finish. It does display signs of wear and use, and areas of historic polish residue all in line with age.
Please note, we sell all our metalwares in 'as sourced' condition, as a genuine aged patina is impossible to replicate once polished. It could however, be polished to a higher shine quite easily as desired.
Postage & Packaging:
As per our brand ethos, your item will be very carefully and securely shipped, wrapped with the utmost care in sustainable recycled and recyclable packaging.
