There are a couple of chips to the rim of the lid to the teapot but other than that, the teapot appears to be in very good order overall. Whilst there are alot of contact marks and scratches to the surface, there are no major chips or cracks and no obvious restoration. We have attached images of the base as we cannot identify any mark to the base, although there is a sticker saying \"marked\" and an arrow. Sadly, the gentleman who would know and catalogued the piece is not in the office today (Monday).
