Condition Report
One handle has been restored where it joins the body, and a restored break issuing from just right of the restored handle continuing approx 14cm across the side, this piece looks to have been broken and restored (see online images). The stand is later and does not fit snugly but doesn't detract from the overall look. The interior of the cover has some small dents, but nothing too detrimental.
