Condition

An approximate 4 1/2 x 2-in portion of left end has been broken into five pieces and restored back into place. Much of the overspray has been removed and there is some flaking to the gilding along the repaired edge There are two small restored chips to foot beneath the right handle, the original area of the restoration extending about 1 in. along the foot; however, most of that restoration has been removed, and there are several very minor pinhead chips along the edge of the foot. The fruit panel has several small short scratches to the enamels and there is some other minor occasional flaking to the gilt rim, not associated with the restored section.
