Selected for its playful zoomorphic form, unusual covered-basin function and clearly disclosed condition issues.
The catalogue records minor loss to the lobster’s head, firing cracks with extending cracks across lid, basin and foot, a small rim loss and enamel losses. Treat as a restoration-sensitive object and request full underside and transmitted-light photographs. Located in Ashburn, Virginia, USA; local pickup, shipping and self-arranged shipping are shown. Confirm specialist packing, insurance, taxes and cross-border obligations. Buyer’s premium is 28%. The estimate is not a sale price or value guarantee; OACA provides non-exclusive agency service only.
OACA has not inspected this object. Confirm condition, provenance and applicable costs before authorizing a bid.
