A large 19th century earthenware garden urn on stand, with egg and dart moulded lip, gadrooned body and raised on cylindrical column with square base. Diameter 39 ins, height 56 ins (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The urn comes into three sections. The urn itself has four small losses to the top lip. All of these are old and not of any great significance. They do not continue further than the lip and not into the egg and dart moulding. There is also a firing crack of approximately 3 ins emanating from one of these chips. The supporting column has a loss to one corner which our image should show. There are also several nibbles to the knop beneath the main urn. The base itself has nibbles to the edges and corners but no significant issues. The piece is structurally stable and perfectly serviceable in its current condition. Clearly the paintwork is peeling and significantly missing.
A large pair of 19th century Portuguese lidded urns, each with lobed and floral encrusted bodies and raised on a square base. Height 25 ins (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The knop to one urn has been detached and re-glued. The same lid has a 7 ins old hairline crack running from the lip up into the body of the lid. There are also four under edge lip chips. The base of the urn is in generally good order. There is one chip on the bottom left hand corner of the square base and several other minor scuffs and abrasions but no significant issues. The second urn has a similar break to the finial. The finial is loose and requires re-gluing. There are three under edge lip chips to the lid. The beak to the left hand handle has been broken and there is a loss here. We have approximately 70% of the piece that is missing. There is also a significant break and poor repair to the top lip of the urn. This runs for approximately 10 ins. There are five separate pieces four of which are in situ and one loose. There are some minor losses here. The remainder of the base is in generally good order with the exception of a large chip to one corner of the foot rim and several small scuffs and abrasions.
