Large Italian ceramic seated tiger, late 20th c., signed Italy underfoot, approx 26"h, 16"w, 9.5"d, 27.25lbs **Provenance: A Montgomery, Texas collection**
06.24.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 2048: I note that the ceramic is presently intact and structurally secure, having light dirt and debris build up within crevices commensurate with age and origin, the figure would benefit from a light, gentle cleaning, I observe a minute chip at the chin, and I do not currently observe fractures, UV light examination reveals fluorescence throughout the interior of the mouth, particularly at the teeth which have been visibly overpainted, the top left incisor fang having been restored and appearing slightly crooked
