Presents very well. Two scallop shells with two hairline cracks (approx. 2-3 in. long) and three small restored rim chips. The base with multiple short hairline cracks, some of which appear to be stabilized by a museum quality restorer. One line extending through a dolphin, this lobe foot likely off and reattached. Restored chip to one shell near finial.
