In ready-to-place condition. Firing cracks, crazing and other manufacturing flaws visible, though none causing concern for the structural integrity or overall appearance of the work. The lower inch of one wing appears to have been previously cracked and reglued, with residual tape remaining near that repair. Examination under UV shows glue residue beneath some of the pigeons, suggesting that these may have been previously detached and reglued.

diameter: 18 in.

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.
