Condition

The covers each have some old restoration and overspray, apparently covering chips and breaks. The restoration has discolored. All the vases have very minor fritting around the edge of the base, and two have old restoration to the necks. One vase is otherwise in good condition, and all have good, bright enamels.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

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.
