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 detected. Several chips and some fritting to the tail rim. Craquelure to the coloured engobe, consistent with the medium. There is evidence of restoration to the black circle underneath the beak. An irregularity to the surface to the left of the right wing. Light wear to the base. Surface dirt throughout. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the present work appears to be in good condition.
