The cobalt blue glass liner sits inside, vivid as the day it was made, and lifts out completely. The silver plate is bright, with some tarnishing and light surface marks consistent with age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMarked Silver Plated \/ Made in England on the base.
