In wonderful condition, no damage or large dents aside from one bump to the top rim on the front left hand side, some small surface scratches. It has a beautiful old patina with a lot of tarnish, I think it looks beautiful as is but I don't see any issues with the silver plating so I believe it should polish perfectly if desired (though there may be some tiny spots of wear hidden underneath all that tarnish). The cup is about 14” high to the top of the arms including the stand, 11” if the stand is removed. See less
