拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
In stable condition, and ready to place. Inherently with natural inclusions and cracks. With scattered repairs and associated infill throughout, consistent with age. The white marble surface treated. With the expected nicks and 'nibbles' to extreme edges. With some slight buildup of dirt in deeper crevices. The feet probably old replacements, at which time additional cement was added to stabilize and strengthen.
Some restorations have been made to the junction between the feet of the upper cup and the central shaft.
There are some minor traces of glue on this part.
