The larger example is in good condition with some wear and damage commensurate with its age. The handle has a small split at the base and it is evident it has been reattached/ repaired at some point. The rim of the mug is more ovoid than rounded and there is slight surface scratching and denting that is appropriate with its use. The hallmarks remain crisp and clear, as does the monogram.
