Cover lacking.

Cover lacking. The vase has been broken in half through the waisted stem and the figure leaning against it at the left - this figure is a;most completely oversprayed making the exact nature of the damage impossible to determine. The maternal figure is considerably oversprayed, probably covering additional damage related to the same break; the lower half of the body of the cherub she holds is restored; her extended foot is restored, as is the foot of the cherub at her knee. There are chips and restored chips to the applied flowers and leaves
