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.

There are the inevitable scratches and surface scratches due to age and handling. The rim is restored as expected. The inner and outer laurel leaves friezes near the rim are restored. The gilt lines between the frieze and the central scene are later. Some chips and scratches to the outer laurel leaves frieze, especially to two points. The base refixed to the body with four small nails. The edges of the base restored. With label from the Henry de Nanteuil de La Norville family collection inscribed '47'. Very good condition of the central scene. Impressive quality.
