Great condition for its age, no major dents or damage, just a couple shallow bumps. The handles are tightly attached to the cup without any breaks or damage, just a slight wobble due to age related shrinkage. There was an old anti-tarnish lacquer applied a long time ago that has turned bronze/gold with age, this cannot be polished off and would have to be removed by a professional if it bothers you. Measures approximately 9” tall. Made by the Adelphi Silver Company. less
