No chips or restorations detected. Three very fine hairline cracks, one to the interior of the spout, the second to the left of the body at the intersection of the body to the base and the third to the central black circle of engobe in the bird's tail, likely from the time of firing. A few tiny nicks to the engraved edges and one or two very minor scuffs in places. Light wear to the base.

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. The nature of the lots sold means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale
