Vintage/Antique condition with signs of age and authentic character.
• Exterior: The outer silver plating shows minimal wear, presenting a high-shine finish with very light surface cleaning scratches. The openwork piercing and handles remain securely attached and intact.
• Interior: The inside floor displays clear age-appropriate tarnish, localized oxidation, and verdigris (green patina) from decades of sitting underneath wine bottles or damp surfaces. This has been left untreated to preserve its antique look but could be polished if desired.
