Overall in very good original condition. The lot has been examined under black light and shows no evidence of prior restoration. The glazed earthenware surface with some minor irregularities and minute burst air bubbles inherent to the making. With a few light surface scratches and minor surface dirt to the recessed areas, consistent with age and gentle handling. The metal surfaces with some light surface scratches, minor traces of oxidation and light surface dirt concentrated to the recessed areas. The object displays wonderful combination between the beautiful glazing and fluid design of the mount.
