Condition Report
Porcelain Bodies: Excellent Antique Condition. Both stoneware bodies are structurally sound with no chips, cracks, hairlines, or repairs along the bodies or foot rims.
Sprigged Relief: Neoclassical white relief work is exceptionally crisp and well-adhered, with no broken limbs, missing leaves, or major losses.
Necks & Upper Rims: Ceramic necks under the collars show original luster/silvering and light vintage mounting residue/patina, but no ceramic fractures.
Metal Tops (EPNS): Both silver-plated tops exhibit authentic antique wear, including surface tarnish, patina, and expected plate loss/rubbing to the nickel base metal around the collar rims. Tops fit snugly as intended.
