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.
No cracks or restorations detected. There is one tiny chip to the interior of the rim. Some surface dirt with some fine scuff marks of red and black pigment. A fine inconsistency in the work by one of the breasts of the figure, from the time of firing. The underside with some fine scuff marks to the footrim. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
