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.

Two rare examples in overall good condition. Minor faint dents, scratches and losses to the painted finish as visible on the catalogue illustration and consistent with age and gentle use. Minor variations in color between the two. One example (unmarked) appears to have been repainted, the other (marked) appears to have its original finish (please refer to the example to the left as illustrated). Glass liner is cracked and has chips to the rim, consistent with age and gentle use. Slight variations in height between the two vases, consistent with their handworked nature. A charming pair of vases by Josef Hoffmann.
