The handle has no splits or chips and sits firmly in its original mountings. The hinge to the lid is excellent with no movement to either side. There are no engravings and no monograms, neither has it been erased. In absolutely original condition it sits flat on a tabletop and is very clean to the inside.
Very attractive and robust piece of domestic silverware.
