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.

Overall in very good condition. The enamel with very minor surface scratching and minute pitting. Some of the raised enamel 'gems' with some small surface losses, not extensive. The enamel generally very well preserved and in very good condition. The rock crystal with some natural inclusions, some minute 'nibbles', and very light scattered light surface scuffs and small scratches. With a very small crack behind the eagle's head, not readily visible and stable. With some amber colored residue to the proper right side of the eagle's head. The interior of the cornucopia with some light surface soiling. The winged bird's legs each with repairs. The gilt and silvered metal with some light oxidation and tarnish and some slight rubbing to the gilding, as to be expected. Presents very well overall.
