Condition

Very good overall condition. The glaze is a almost metallic gun-metal grey-black in person when compared to the catalogue illustration. There are three minor restored edge flakes to the rim and a small area of restoration to the tip of the spout. The restorations are conservative and well executed and do not detract from the impact of the piece.

Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
