The teapot is in good overall condition commensurate with age. The finial to hinged lid is deficient (snapped) and not sold with the teapot and there are several dents visible to the lobed body. The hinge pin to the lid appears to have shifted and is protruding slightly from the hinge (but still holding firmly). There is a ding to the handle by ivory spacer and the spout is misshapen. Scratches, pits and dings commensurate with age and use.
