Condition Report
Overall fine, stable condition. One example with a crack to the body, not impacting stability but visible to the interior, and faintly visible to the exterior with a small loss to the porcelain as well as areas of overpainting visible upon close inspection. Restoration aside the glaze is intact and attractive. The floral motifs and other decoration are hand applied directly to the porcelain. The undersides are unmarked. The light fixtures and wiring have not been tested but appear in fine condition.
