Condition:

Very good antique condition. No noticed chips, cracks or damage to the basket. Paint appears to be in very good condition. There appears to be a straw mark (manufacturing flaw) on the underside of the bowl (shown in photo). The stand has one issue with the beaded trim (one of the little loops is missing). A zoomed photo shows what I mean, but it is not a prominent flaw. Otherwise, the stand has normal wear and tarnish. Please see all photos. less
