Condition:  It has a very nice classic shape with a belly near the base. It is in excellent condition given its age, with no, dents, breaks or repairs. It does have several very small and almost unnoticeable dark spots near the bottom, which may be bad scratches which has some dirt accumulated. It also has some minor surface scratches, probably from cleaning over the years, which are difficult to see. However, these do not distract from this cup's beauty and charm. It could use some cleaning, but we will leave that to the next owner. Please view photos to appreciate this item's beauty and condition.
