Condition

Notes

Four pieces (approx. 1"-1.5") of porcelain broke from the curved base above the foot. Each break was relatively clean (no small splinter pieces), seemingly along previous damage lines. The damage occurred when I lifted the vase when staging with faux flowers. It is likely that the glue used to repair previous breaks failed due to age. [Caitlin A. Monaco, 4/22/26]
