Collect: Palm Beach

The pair of vases present very well and are ready to place. The colors of the enamel are strong and the gilt is bright. The first vase is in very good condition overall. The second vase has an old hairline crack underfoot that has been stabilized with glue. There is some residue (possibly glue residue?) where the foot meets the body that appears to be associated with this repair, but we do not see a hairline crack in this area of the vase. The residue is only visible on close inspection or under UV light. Please see the images for more information.

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.
