The Tastemaker

Each in overall fine and working condition. We would suggest having the wiring reviewed by a professional electrician to ensure safety and proper function. While presently working, we cannot guarantee the wiring will be unaffected during shipping.
One example is in overall fine condition showing some pitting to the glaze and light surface wear commensurate with age and handling, with few frets to the edges. The other example showing old repairs to the top half. It is possible that the second example suffered more severe damage and has been rebuilt.

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.
