Condition
In generally good condition with the expected patina, scuffs and bumps commensurate with age. Two shallow dents in the bowl, the largest about 3/8" long; there may have been some other dents at one time which have been hammered out. Nice engraving on the finial. Marked in the bowl with the Exeter crowned "X" with two pellets and three times on the handle reverse with the conjoined "EA" maker's mark of Edward Anthony. All marks with some light wear but otherwise quite good; one maker's mark slightly off-struck.
