Condition report

The flask is 17cm in height. The top needs to be twisted to open and the inside of the lid does still have a cork lining to stop leaks although there is no stopper at all. There are light dents to both the top and the cup but no holes or tears. The cup is monogrammed GG. There is a slight split to the leather around the neck, which can be seen above the hinge in image 3.
