The dome is 4 1/4" high (excluding the handle), and 6 3/4" across. The underplate, which is also severely damaged and stained to boot, is 8 3/4" across.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]197670[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]197671[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Having photographed it, which always comes with a detailed examination, I've come to the conclusion it's not a simple repair; it requires repair and restoration.
