Marked underneath with Austrian silver standard mark for Vienna, KT silversmith monogram, JH monogram, rose mark, WW mark and further stamped Wiener Werkstätte, There is a further Austrian silver standard mark on the handle. The marks are clear. There is some overall surface scratching and wear,consistent with age and use. There is some bruising to the lattice on three of the sides and the base is slightly bruised which causes the piece to rock slightly when placed on a flat surface. There is a small area of excess solder inside the handle, thought there is no obvious repair in this area. Would benefit from a thorough clean. Liner lacking.
