Condition:
The creamer is in very fine condition commensurate to age and use. The images may show some slight shallow dimpling to the left side (as seen from the front) of the creamer, the largest being about 1/2\" across and that I could not readily capture on film, but nonetheless mentioned for accuracy. There are a couple of light scratches thatare not detracting and mentioned purely for accuracy, the largest measuring 3/16\". There are no repairs to be found and the creamer appears straight on itsbase. The handle retains its elegant original shape. The bright-work is highly detailed and crisp throughout. The underside of the base shows evidenceof the original silver casting, adding to the piece\'sappeal. Also visible, on the underside of the base, collectors/dealer\'s inventorynumbering as well as the full Georgian English Hallmarksdescribed above and pictured.
