01.07.26 - In my opinion regarding LOT: 3191- the pitcher is overall intact with no noted breaks to metal, applied decorations are present and well defined, the hand hammered nature of the pitcher makes it difficult to discern any small dents, but there are no apparent major dents, I note a very minor, ding to interior rim near handle, handle is securely attached, I further observe some light rubs, abrasions and minor wear, all mentioned commensurate with use
