Beyond a Cincinnati Legacy: The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fleischmann III, Part I

A punch bowl with the same design was previously owned by founding father John Jay (1745-1829) and is now housed in the collection of the US State Department. A saucer of the same design was offered at Sotheby's from the collection of Elinor Gordon (Jan 23, 2010, Lot 67). Most other items are for a tea service, a majority of which are housed in the collection at Winterthur.

In fine and stable overall condition. Minor wear to foot. Firing cracks to finial, foot and handles. 

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.
