I removed as much as I could by hand. Traces of wax remain in the bowl and in the crack lines, and the bowl surface has a frosted, uneven look where the wax came away. The bowl surface is not original and should be read as a surface intervention, not an untouched finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThere are cracks within the bowl, with the longest running across the floor. The underside is heavily scuffed and abraded, with honey-colored residue and a small dark pit near the center. The polish elsewhere shows ordinary wear consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67636984906006,"sku":"ENM-2304","price":775.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/October2026-12359.jpg?v=1791499116","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-neoclassical-alabaster-pedestal-bowl","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
