European Furniture and Decorative Arts

The pair appearing in overall fairly good stable and ready to place condition. Both vases have adhesive residue to the top lip (beneath the lid) and on the base (where it sits on the stand). Both examples with some rubbing to the gilt decoration and a few small area of loss to the finials on the top of each lid. One lid with a small firing crack to the top consistent with production. The lids fit somewhat loosely on the vases, likely the reason for the adhesive residue. Additional images are available upon request.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
