02.24.24: In my opinion regarding LOT – 1112: I note that the epergne is presently intact and structurally secure, with the glass flute and two dishes appearing securely supported by silverplate, there are minute chips to the rim of both dishes and the flute, as well as there being several minor splits to the silverplate at the base of the flute support, there is light tarnish throughout and the silverplate would benefit from a gentle polish, the scrolled arms supporting the dishes also appear securely fastened to the standard, and I observe minor surface wear such as light abrasions, concentrated at areas of glass making contact with silverplate, such as the stem of the flute
