In decent, stable condition overall. With a hairline crack spanning approximately three-quarters of the plate. Some areas of discoloration and pitting to the white ground consistent with age. Some instances of surface rubbing and loss to the enameled decoration, which is generally intact and bright. Minor area of black discoloration to the right of the coat-of-arms. Examination under UV light reveals an area of repaired loss to the edge of the hairline crack on the underside.

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.
