Condition Report:
This lot is sold with a Thermoluminescence report from Oxford Authentication Ltd., stating that the sample taken (No. N119p93) was last fired between 400 and 600 years ago.

There are 2 repaired breaks to the right of the Virgin: One along her side and through the wing of the putto and one through her shoulder up through the border. They are barely visible with the naked eye and are extremely stable ( and are likely to be original firing cracks that were repaired by the workshop after firing). There are general surface abrasions and chipping throughout with minor restorations to some chips. Some porosity and bubbles from firing.

In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. 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.
