Dining at Home

All items appearing in overall good, stable, and ready to place condition. The German enameled example with a minor dent to the foot, only visible from the underside and one to the top of the lid, not appearing to impact usability. The enamel decoration with scuffs, scrapes, and wear throughout revealing the base metal in areas. The silver plate example having a minor ding to the edge of the lid. All components are present and appear in good working order. Minor polish residue to interior of lid. The Chase Chrome and Bakelite shaker and cups with a pattern of even surface scratches consistent with age, use and polishing. The Bakelite lid of the shaker is not easily removed. Two of the cups have slightly loose feet; would benefit from tightening. The Gaiety example having nicks, scuffs, and scrapes as to be expected from age and use. One small area of loss to the enamel band on the lid.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
