Chicago Art + Design

All elements in overall good and stable condition. The interior of the teapot lid has a break with pieces retained, but this break is not visible when the lid is in place. There is a crack to the ceramic pitcher that appears to go through body of the piece. This does not appear to have been previously repaired. Other than these two instances, there are no breaks, repairs or losses evident to the lot. Overall scuffs and scratches are present consistent with age, use, and handling of hand-painted ceramics.

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.
