Condition

Fair overall condition. The lacquer has been previously restored along the edges and the corner. As these restorations have aged, they have oxidised and are more visible. Small dents scattered on the lacquer, especially on the sides and on the edges. A few hairline cracks at some of the junctions. Minor lacks of lacquer scattered, especially on the edges.
