The Estate of Devon Hoover

The service appearing in overall fairly good, stable, and ready to place condition. Items exhibit crazing to the porcelain and rubbing to the gilt decoration. Many of the plates with cutlery marks from use. A few of the items with minute chips to the edges and a few items with hairline cracks; not appearing to impact stability. A few instances of yellowing to the porcelain. Scattered surface deposit. Most items in the service are in the Imari Kings pattern.

Approximately 12 shallow bowls and 21 dinner plates are a slightly different pattern.

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.
