Property of a Chicago Lady

The service appears in overall fairly good, stable, and ready to place condition. The decoration is bright and attractive. Some items within the service exhibit crazing to the glaze and one of the dessert plates and the footed bowl exhibit heavier crazing throughout. There are scattered instances of rubbing to the gilt decoration of all items and moderate shelf wear to the underside consistent with age, gentle use, and moving. There are minor imperfections in the decoration, surface scratches, and rubbing commensurate with gentle use.  Four of the dessert plates have hairline cracks. Please note that there is a difference in pattern among square dishes. Additional images are available upon request. 

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.
