More Information

There is a compression to the foot creating a crease around the foot rim. There is some light denting particularly around the base. There appears to be a small hole punctured from the inside, just above the foot rim, and here, inside, can be seen some repairs centred around the body and the foot rim.
The hallmarks are clear.
There is the odd tiny nick to the rim and slight indentation where both handles join the body at the bottom.
