So, a recent auction had an piece on the cover Of their advertising that is similar to a fine piece I acquired years ago. It had some slight damage to the base and I did have it restored.
I brought it to the auction so I could compare them in hand.
This it it here.

personally I liked the flaking on my piece better.
as the bidding went higher and higher, my heart sank further and further. The piece went for $14500.00
This is mine before restoration.
