The pair with vibrant enameling and nicely defined plumage. With very minor glaze chips or fritting scattered about.
Tureen and cover 1, the Mottahedeh Collection, with applied sticker to interior of tureen:
The beak has been restuck in two places, directly below the opening on the top and where it meets the head on the bottom beak. The restoration is very skillfully executed with later detailed touch ups to the iron-red paint. The goose's left webbed foot fluoresces under UV light possibly covering a line and skillfully touched up with iron-red detail. The tureen also fluoresces on the goose's right-side behind the webbed foot which most likely covers a line at the rim with touch ups to the enameled plumage.
Tureen and cover 2, the Falk Collection:
The cover has been reglued in several areas, including to a Y-shaped break to the back of the body beneath the up-turned feathers, and in two place to the neck and head. Each up-turned feather tip also fluoresces under UV indicating possible breaks or cracks to the porcelain as well. Additionally, the beak of the goose skillfully restored with several nicks to the enameled iron-red decoration. On the tureen the goose's right webbed foot fluoresces under UV light most likely indicating a line that has been filled and touched-up.
