The rim of the foot and rim and the stand are each marked with French tax mark. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. There are some minor chips and scratches to the enamel. There are some inclusions and chips to the rock crystal on the bottle. There is a small crack to the rock crystal at the very bottom. The stopper was originally connected to the bottle with a chain which is now partly lacking. The quality of the carving on the bottle is not as good as the finish on the stand. The two may be associated.

We are happy to provide Condition Reports to prospective buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale. We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a Condition Report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage prospective buyers to inspect an item in person where possible. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers, or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

Regarding Pictures, Prints and Works on Paper, works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. Tennants Auctioneers do not cover damage to gilded wood or plaster picture frames, or to picture frame glass whilst the item is in our possession.

We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.
