No structural cracks or major dents. The rolled rim remains round and true. * **Surface & Patina:** Displays a deep, unpolished, authentic dark antique patina. The original white tin/silver alloy wash has beautifully worn down over the last century, leaving bright remnants trapped perfectly inside the deep engraved grooves while exposing the warm copper base on the high-contact panels. * **Interior:** The inside basin shows organic oxidation, darkening, and minor scratching consistent with generations of genuine domestic use. *Please review all high-resolution macro photos closely to appreciate the authentic tool marks, wear patterns, and fine details of this anonymous master metalsmith's work.* Category: Antiques › Asian Antiques › Middle East.
