Additional Notes & Condition Report
PLEASE NOTE: The description for this lot was updated on Monday, December 6, at 2:50 pm. This lot is no longer being dated (previously dated as late 19th/early 20th century)
Each urn and cover appears to be in generally good, undamaged condition; no apparent rim chips, hairline cracks, etc.,; all of the mounts appear to be intact; typical wear/dulling to the gilding on the metal mounts; one of the mounts on one of the urns has a small area with a splash of overpaint splatter and there is small bit of paint splatter on the same urn in an adjacent area on the porcelain body, not of great consequence; the gilding appears to be generally intact and in good condition; no apparent damage to either cover, including the rims; one of the urns is artist signed; one of the urns is presently just a bit wobbly; this matter can probably be remedied by simply tightening the screws that secure the various parts of the porcelain body together; each urn is marked on the underside with an overglaze crossed arrow mark (not the usual Sèvres mark)
Any condition statement is given as a courtesy to a client, is an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact and Doyle New York shall have no responsibility for any error or omission. Please contact the specialist department to request further information or additional images that may be available.
