The cover shows losses to the turned edge of the upper rim, a chip to the lower rim, extensive scuffing and scratching to the underside, and fine scratching to the metal band. The portrait miniature shows craquelure to the blue background on the left hand side. On the right side, the blue appears to have adhered to the underside of the glass and lifted as a result.
