The scarab is in very good structural condition and retains is matte green glaze. Grueby eartheware pieces were produced with great variation both in form and in regards to their glaze (which is often intentionally uneven and therefore has a unique, organic appearance). The scarab has portions at the front and back which retain a color variation which is almost certainly intentional but this is difficult to determine. Please see the numerous condition photos.

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.
