This looks fine but up close all the lacquer was crazed, flaking off and crackled. It shed all over the counter it was stored in. It needed a full removal of the old lacquer and a polish of the solid brass under. This lacquer made the brass look like gold. The restoration bought out the copper in the brass, more natural color.
Found the iron weight on the top of all places.
Cracked lacquer close up.
Inside was shedding as well.
Hot vinegar bath took some off and the rest of the hard stuff was torched off.
