CIRCA 1820

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 decorative order with some glaze crazing and slight staining overall. Some wear to gilding (particularly at rims) and enamels throughout, slight surface scratching and stacking wear.

One tureen with one handle restored, a 12 cm. hairline crack from rim to base and a 1 cm. hairline crack from rim, both mostly visible to the interior. The other cover with a 20 cm. crack from rim extending around part of the border (again, mostly visible to the interior) and some chipping to flange, the other tureen with one handle restored.
