Condition
Please note updated condition report.
Mustard pot and cover: There is wear along the edge of the pot's rim where the cover sits and a number of very minor pinhead flakes to the gilding of the dentil portion of the rim's border and the gilt line at the foot; there are several very minor light scratch marks to the blue ground just to the left of the bird panel.
Stand: There is some minor wear in the center to both the ground where the pot sits and the gilding beneath the panels as well as some very minor light scratching; and there is some very minor rubbing to the gilding of the two small floral sprays on the sides between the panels - this is somewhat visible in the online ecatalogue illustration. The footrim of the stand also has a very minor, old .5cm flat chip. Otherwise, both are in generally good condition.
