06.06.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 2369: I note that the jar is intact and stands sturdy, the cover resting comfortably within the mouth, there are typical rubs and mellowing to the parcel-gilt elements, the enameled decoration overall well-preserved with a sparse amount of typical small flaked losses, and there is minor scattered iron pitting, close visual and UV light examination reveals a professional restoration at the rim with inpainting, with a reinforced hairline extending from this region
