sterling silver
7” high x 2 ½” wide

Condition: Antique, Very Good
For Accuracy Only: an antique it may show expected minimal signs of wear / light use commensurate with age. There is light rubbing to the upper section of the makers mark and the mildest of bend to the foot. Else Excellent. The patina is warm and rich. Fine and in usable condition.
