Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
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 are some minor knocks, dents and surface wear, in keeping with its age. - There is a small repair to one side, just below the bulbous mid section. - There are four screws to the base, which appear to have been added later for reinforcement.
