Condition
Overall in very good condition. Each of the objects with areas of minor discoloration consistent with the natural aging process of the material. The surfaces throughout retain a rich patina, showing gentle rubbing and light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. The non-footed bowl (to the left in the catalogue illustration) is the single work that was not acquired by the present owner from the Warhol auction.
