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.
Presents very well overall.
With some marks, nicks, and scratches consistent with age and handling.
With dust and dirt to the crevices, which could benefit from a gentle cleaning.
The enamel with some small areas of crazing and minor chips, such as to the lions' ears, but which are only noticeable upon close examination.
The gilt-bronze with areas of tarnish and verdigris.
The lions, ribbons, and ball/cub each separate from the base and slightly loose; most likely originally with pins to secure each piece which are now lacking.
