Condition
Light scratching to underside commensurate with age. Air bubble to just below widest point of base, at a point where there is no decoration. Good rich colours to enamelling which are deeper than the catalogue illustration suggests. There is no pinky:purple enamel at the base but a more subtle shade of pinky brown. Some craquelure effect at gilding to top visible. A good and tall example.
