In excellent condition, no dents or damage, just a couple shallow dimples visible only when looking closely that cause a very slight rock to the base, and small signs of use and age. It has polished up beautifully! The cup is marked with full English hallmarks for sterling silver assayed in Sheffield in the year 1877.
