Condition Report
The stand:
The feet are a bit out of shape with the result that the stand rocks when placed on a flat surface. The is minor damage to the rims of both of the 'long' sides, as though a heavy item has been placed across it and squashed the edges. Minor dings, dents and scratches as to be expected.
The teapot:
The foot slightly misshapen to one side as though it has been put down heavily on a hard surface. The handle has a slight wobble and is lighter in colour than the finial. The hingle to the cover is slightly loose, but does not affect how the cover sits on the body. Dents, dings, brusing and a bit of rippling to the body as to be expected, but apart from the misshapen foot no obvious major damage or repairs.
