Condition
good condition overall; the shaded enamel remains vivid and bold throughout, with a few minor flecks of loss (particularly to lid); there appears to be some retouching to the shaded enamel along the majority of the perimeter of the bottom edge, revealed by discoloration to the enamel under normal light and also revealed under UV light; some persistent tarnish to silver gilt, particularly to underside.
