The urn is in good antique condition especially for its age and use. Some typical signs of age and use like light surface scratches. No visible wear to the plating other than the copper bleed through (which is actually desired for OSP) as previously mentioned. The inside tinning needs cleaning. There's a small chip to the top of the spigot handle (see pic). No obvious damage I can see. less
