Condition

Overall in generally very good condition, consistent with age. The surface presents with a few light scuffs and/or nicks, but generally there are no visually obtrusive marks. There are two small chips to edge of the lip, one measuring approximately 1/4 inch in length, the second measuring ½ inch in length, which have been sensitively restored by a professional. A dynamic form that remains one of Wirkkalas most recognizable models.

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.
