Condition
Overall in very good condition. The glazed surface with a few light surface scratches and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle handling. The upper rim with a few very minor and sensitively undertaken touch ups to the glaze, only visible upon close inspection. The metal surfaces with a few surface scratches and minor rubbing to the gilding. The glass cabochons appear intact and undisturbed. A very poetic piece.
