Mode ARMORIAL Fide et Fortitudine PORCELAINE ROSE Compote ANCIEN PARIS ? EXPORT CHINOIS ?

Condition:Our photos show the condition best and are the most important part of the description. Please enlarge and zoom in them to view the condition for yourself. Very fresh and clean piece in excellent overall condition, with no chips, cracks, stains, crazing, silver/gray utensil marks, or scratches, not even any completely colorless ones. The gold does have a few very light, scattered scratches, but no loss, and nothing that is noticeable unless under very close, in-hand, examination. Exception: the band of gold at the bottom of the bowl, on the exterior, where the bowl meets the pedestal, does show wear -- see photos, and compare the gold in that area to the rest of the gold. A very nice, unique piece, pretty in pink, with an interesting story, yet to be discovered.

We consider funky odors (cigarette smoke, mildew, etc) to be an important part of a condition report. Corndogcache is a 100% non-smoking environment, and well let you know if any of our vintage items smell like it (or anything else) from activities they may have been involved in before they came to us.
