Very good overall condition. The planter presents with minor surface soiling and light wear, consistent with age and use. Some surface scratches and a few dents, not visually distracting, commensurate with age and use. One small hairline crack on the edge of the rim, measuring approximately 1⁄4 in. (0.8 cm) long, stabilized by a professional conservator at some point in the history of the piece. Rubbing mostly concentrated along the underside. Some instances of oxidizing and Verdigris, inherent to the natural evolution of the medium. Four modern leather glides on the underside. An important piece, ready to be displayed.
