More Information

Lid - there is some rubbing to the gilding most noticeably to the very tip of the spire and to the collar that sits within the vase (and is therefore not visible). There is a darker band to the very top of the shaped section which has some rubbing.

Vase - there is some very minor rubbing to the gilding, commensurate with light handling. There is some rubbing to the very flat rim of the neck where the lid sits. There are some very minor surface marks visible to the ivory ground cartouche which would likely wash away (if so desired).
