Box:Overall this box is in good condition. The very minor condition faults are listed in more detail below:There is a small chip to two of the leaf terminals on the cover. A small rim chip the edge of the cover is gilded with what appears to be original 18th century gilding, so it dates from the time of manufacture. There are some minute flakes and wear to the gilt rim of the box, and a few minute scratches to the surface. All of these are extremely minor. Meissen Basket:One handle has probably been broken off and re-stuck, and the surrounding area has been overpainted. With time this overpainted area has yellowed, but as the porcelain in these areas is still translucent, it appears as though this area is not restored, and it is merely over-zealous overpainting extending far beyond the re-stuck handle. There is some chipping to the flowers and foliage and handle terminals. Berlin basket:Overall this basket is in good condition. There are a few minute areas of wear, which are extremely minor.
