Good overall condition, except for a few expected minor nicks to the extremities, including the tips of the hairpin and the lower edges of the robe. Typical firing cracks to the interior of the base, with an associated faint glaze line on the lower right exterior of the robe. Light surface wear.
If a condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot, it is for guidance purposes only. Such condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alterations, or adaptations because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather a condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's. For these reasons, any such condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. Prospective buyers should also refer to the Guide for Buyers at Auction which includes important notices concerning the type of property in this sale.
