Overall in very good condition. This pair of glazed ceramic jars are in extremely well-preserved original condition overall, with extremely minor surface irregularities inherent to production. The glazing application is occasionally and very slightly irregular, particularly on the base, interior, and lid of each jar. The glaze presents with very minor firing hairlines on the interior of each jar, which are stable and likely inherent to production. This lot has been inspected under blacklight and shows no apparent evidence of prior restoration. As noted in the catalogue essay, this lot is offered together with a handwritten note from Mr. and Mrs. John Davison Rockefeller, junior. The jars present beautifully in person with an elegant glaze and strong sculptural presence.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.

NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
