Numerous small chips and flakes around the shoulder. Left handle has chips on top of 15 x 10 and 10 x 7 mm. The under edge of this handle is chipped across its full inner width up to about 2 mm deep. Wear to the outside of the handle. The other handle is worn on the outside and chipped to the under edge to about 30 x 7 mm. Base edge also has wear and little chips and flakes. There are three feet underneath and the one at the front right is missing about half of what should be there but still has enough at the bottom for the piece to sit properly.
