Very good overall condition. Very light instances of wear to the patina. A few scattered surface scratches mainly located near the base, more visible ones on a side of the apple with tiny chips.

Small dents on another side but not visually distracting.

The stem with very light oxidation mark and a tiny vert-de-gris stain on the lower part.
