🔍 Condition Report
• Overall Presentation: Displays beautifully. The hand-painted colors remain vibrant and clear.
• Gilding: There is expected, authentic age-related rubbing/wear to the gold gilt along the top loops of the handles and the rim, consistent with a 100+ year-old piece.
• Structure: No chips or open cracks on the body. Please note there is a very tight, discrete stress hairline at the top joint of one handle. It is completely invisible when the vase is at rest and does not impact display, but the piece should always be picked up by its base rather than the handles.
