Texture: Hand-wrought / Hammered finishCONDITION NOTE:Good vintage condition with a beautiful aged patina and light surface character marks consistent with age. Please note that the handle has a slight, honest bend from decades of age and storage. I have left it in its original state to preserve its historic character, but it remains structurally sturdy. Please review all photos closely for a detailed look at the profile and bend.(Note: Because pewter has a low melting point, this item should be used for display, serving, or props, and never exposed to direct open flames or stovetop heat.)
