09/15/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT : 3366- the centerpiece is overall intact, it sits slightly askew, I am only able to review visible surfaces, I have not examined under the metal mounts, a UV light is unremarkable revealing no evidence of major restoration, gilt and decorated surfaces show some rubs and small losses, possible overpainting, imperfections to glaze with a small nick noted near flowers, see images, light crazing, metal exhibits typical variation with mellowing, rubs, spotting and surface wear, there are a very few small breaks noted throughout the vines, please refer to the attached images for your review
