Several chips and substantial rubbing to the rim is as often the case with this type of glaze. Large crazing visible throughout, trending to a hairline crack running through the twelve o’clock position, no restoration visible.

Possible chip or blemish to the edge of the book (as visible in photos), firing and shrinkage cracks visible around the pedestal and ankle area. We note these are factory. Small chip or blemish beneath the pocket of his tunic also. We note this appears to have slumped slightly in the kiln and will not stand upright without the assistance of the bespoke base

Several losses to the petals in the wreath. Firing shrinkage cracks visible in several places.  Under black light this appears to have had significant restoration to the base, we note this has been very well done and almost invisible to the naked eye. Fair condition only.

As is usually the case with Chelsea figures of this type there are numerous losses in particular to the floral and leaf section. These examples appear to have had some form of touch up restoration to the green foliage background. Still an attractive pair that presents well. We note fair condition only.
