THE PORCELAIN CIRCA 1745-1750, FAINT BLUE CROSSED SWORDS MARK TO ONE; THE MOUNTS PROBABLY 19TH CENTURY

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 good condition; typical small chips and restorations to the applied flowers, foliage and vines; some small sections of vine missing; the covers affixed to the vase; one cover with restoration to its rim; the other with its finial reattached. One base covered by a metal plate, the other visible, showing the faint blue crossed swords mark. The mounts regilt with signs of earlier mercury gilding; one ormolu base slightly different than the other and slight differences in the surface treatment of the ormolu of the pierced galleries; the ormolu with some minor surface scratches, casting flaws, verdigris and rubbing, as to be expected.
