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.

In overall good decorative condition and ready to place. With typical scattered nicks, faint marks and light surface scratches consistent with age and use. With some scattered light cracking, some lifting and small losses to the decoration, including a small loss to the reverse revealing barewood and gesso. With some cracking along the seams, including to one of the middle branches, and with a restoration to the upper left branch along the seam. With some minor rubbing to the painted decoration, including to the front of the umbrella basin, consistent with use.
