Early 20th Century Design

In overall good and ready to place condition. There are no breaks, losses, repairs or chips to the ceramic body. The iridescent glaze is even throughout. Some dust buildup to the deeper recesses could benefit from a light cleaning. Very minor fleabite chips to the bottom edge of the glaze are not readily noticeable. When examined under black light a repair has been made to the upper lizard's ear and potentially a repair at the fusion point of the lower lizard's neck to the body of the vase. Additionally a few gold touch-up paint areas to the spine of the lower lizard. Please see or request additional condition images.

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.
