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 good, decorative condition and ready to place. With the expected light scattered nicks and scratches. The ormolu mounts with some light rubbing, areas of verdigris and dirt buildup, and some light surface wear, as to be expected. The central iron band heavily oxidized and with verdigris, consistent with age. One of the handles no longer fixed to the vase, but stable. With old repairs to applied elements of the rim and some associated solder repair. The porcelain in generally good condition. With some slight variation in the cracqueleur and with some scattered fritting. The underside drilled.
