The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.

-There is a short hairline across one of the leaves (measuring approx. 1.2 cm.), with a shorter hairline to another smaller leaf.
