Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

Each in good, stable condition overall. Each with varying degrees of firing imperfections and pitting to the bodies. Some with rubbing, areas of loss to the glaze, and minor frets and chips to the edges, particularly evident on the edges of the feathers. Some with crazing evident on the interiors. Each vessel is signed; the two examples signed "HR Quimper" to the interior bowl can be dated to the early 20th century, while the other four examples can be dated to the early to mid-20th century.

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.
