Condition Report
Generally good condition throughout. Light to medium surface wear including tarnish to both interior and exterior. All hinges function well and sit flush, though the hinge for the vinaigrette is somewhat loose. Also inspecting the hinge pin for the vinaigrette it appears to have been taken out and reinserted the wrong way round. One or two light marks to stopper of the scent bottle.
