The center features a raised dotted ring enclosing a circular geometric motif typical of the period.Item Condition:Authentic Patina: Features a heavy, chalky white-gray lead-carbonate oxide layer consistent with centuries of age.Damage: There is a visible break/missing piece running through the right side near the crown emblem and handle, along with historical warping/bending.Material: Non-magnetic and highly pliable (soft lead/pewter alloy).
