Abundant superficial losses to gold-toned finish of metal, and also to the painted gold-toned decorations of the glass bodies. The wear is most apparent to the metal lid, which has lost much of its gold finish. This lid and the top rim of the double-handled vessel also show slight bends. Good overall condition, with some wear as appropriate to age and use.
