Flora Fauna Antiques has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
No holes or splits. The handle stays upright but is on the looser side - still completely secure but doesn't stay upright as firmly as it probably once did. Small depression to the embossed detail (knight's head). The base is slightly concave, so it doesn't sit completely flat. All aspects are sound and secure. It has been cleaned and lightly polished externally and still retains a soft and attractive patina.

Height overall (excluding handle): 24cm
