ConditionCondition is largely good; the metalwork is strong and complete, the catch is strong and works well. The gilt margin to the lid has some wear (see photographs) whilst the porcelain has no discernible chips, cracks, losses or significant defects. As with most pieces of this age and construction, the seating of the ceramic into the base frame is not without the occasional tiny nibble. That said, this particular example is much, much better than many we have seen.
