6.21.24-In my opinion regarding LOT: 2212-The screen stands sturdy, the rear mesh screen and metal frame show some spotting and patination, there is a small area of white residue at rear mesh screen, all likely cleanable, the pears all appear intact and present, as described one is lacking the glass leaf and chain, another retains only part of the leaf, leaf is broken, see image a few other leaves have some very minor chipping, metal leaves on frame further show some oxidation and light spotting, the four porcelain pieces are inact with no noted breaks or repair, the whole would likely benefit from a good cleaning as it is quite dusty
