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.
As noted in the cataloging, one tureen with metal mounts and slightly larger; each in overall good condition; with the expected surface wear and scratches; some rubbing and losses to the enamels and gilt decoration; the metal-mounted tureen slightly stained to the interior, its cover with some glaze losses to the finial; the other cover with a section of restoration to the rim, likely obscuring a large crescent-shaped break, and with old inventory label with 'no. 213' to the interior.
the larger tureen: 81⁄4 in. high, overall
the smaller tureen: 91⁄4 in. diameter, 71⁄4 in. high, overall
