Inside the lid it has hallmarks and an inscription ''Presented to Major General A. McGill C.B., C.B.E. on Retirement 1969''. It also has stamped numbers ''11401'' and ''2''. The side has further hallmarks and there is a silver spout.The glass body has a hand blown loop handle and a diamond cut to the sides, with a star cut base.The glass has a few small nibbles and chips to the raised areas of the decoration as you would expect from an item of its age but otherwise it is in good general order.All items come with free shipping throughout the UK.
