There are some surface knife scratches to the well of the platter, in keeping with the age and purpose; if required these could be sympathetically reduced by a silversmith upon request. The bright cut engraved decoration is crisp and the applied decoration is very sharp. Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the platter are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this example of antique silverware.
