In very good overall condition. The porcelain toads each with a few short intrinsic firing lines, in the making and under the glaze, as well as some general light scratches and scuffs commensurate with age and handling. Each with a few small scattered frits and flakes to the glaze, generally over the raised spots; some crazing to the glaze at the interiors; a few toes lacking. The ormolu mounts generally in good condition, the surfaces re-gilt, with some scratches, scuffs, minute nicks, scattered patina and the starts of a few small splits scattered throughout. The toad bodies affixed to the mounts by some old glue and putty, with some excess residue visible at the undersides. Overall very good condition, vivid glaze and charming subject.
