Condition

Vintage pre-owned condition with significant damage to the beak, reflected in the price. The beak has previously been broken and re-glued by a previous owner. There is also a small chip at the very tip of the beak, exposing the white porcelain underneath. These areas are clearly shown in the close-up photographs.

The remainder of the figurine, including the particularly fragile long tail and base, is in good condition with no other chips or cracks noted. Sold AS-IS. Please inspect all photographs carefully before purchasing.
