The exterior is shiny towards the top, but has the appearance of fine pitting, despite feeling smooth, as you move down the side to just above the base. There are no dents or bumps. We rate the overall condition as very good. It measures 7 inches high and weighs 1 pound 10 ounces. The exterior has moderate tarnish with areas of dried silver polish. The interior has quite a bit of tarnish near the rim, with some soil and dried polish, and would benefit from further cleaning and polishing.
