Threre are some issues with this pot. It appears that there may be an old repair to the finial. The lid is umarked. There are only three marks on the shoulder of the piece which are quite rubbed. (No maker's mark). The engraved armorial is quite tired. There are numerous tiny dings/dents to one side of the pot near the base and they appear to have occurred on the inside as the dents/dings are protruding outwards??
