There appears to have been some sort of repair/restoration to the lid as there are visible iridescent patches just below the surface, perhaps a type of lacquer?? The lid interior has numerous small dings dotted all over. General overall condition is otherwise good. Hallmarks clear but with some rubbing to the maker's mark.
