CR 6.10.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 2228- after careful visual and UV light examinations, I note that both baskets are intact overall, as described one has a small section with glue repair and small chip to rim, this basket also has two very small hairlines to small sections of rim, see images, both display some inherent imperfections to porcelain, light crazing, mostly noted to inner well, some small areas of gilt loss and possible touchups, and light wear to painted floral sprays, I observe some minute roughness/scattered very small chipping underfoot, all commensurate with age
