Dining at Home

The service appearing in overall good, stable and ready to place condition. Gilt decoration is bright and attractive. Items with minor shelf wear to the underside and a few of the items with fleabites to the foot rim. The underside of the lids for the jug, creamer, and sugar with remnants of white residue (possibly old paint) to the underside; not visible when lid is on vessel. This does not appear to be a repair or inpainting. Both of the saucers have minute hairline cracks in the glaze; visible only upon close inspection and not appearing to impact overall stability. Some minor rubbing to the gilt decoration where the lids sit as is to be expected for age and gentle use. 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.
