    These seem fairly hard to find and its a so called hairline crack running running straight down and over the left breast of the lovely lady. will that crack get worse? does it really detract? How would you evaluate this to sell?

    Looks like crazing to me and not a hairline. I'll leave it to the experts.

    the official name is "Circe mit Leoparden" and should additionally be marked "C.Werner" for Carl Werner on the plinth.
    as Miscstuff rightly points out to be inspected by an expert in person.
    as it's around quite regularly in auction houses and platforms I do not see any value with a hairline.
    the asking price in kikos link is a wet dream .

    Gorgeous!

    It's an odd place for a crack, almost wonder if it might have been a manufacturing flaw?? Were there "seconds" for this kind of thing? Whatever it is does impact resale, but I would think still have value as appears to be in flawless condition otherwise.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    On enlargement, some of that looks more like dirt....can you take a q-tip and some mild soap & water or what others might recommend and gently see if some of that comes off??? But only if comfortable doing it!!!! AND, YES, she IS lovely!!!

    Any chance she's been broken and glued?

    I know collectors require perfection but damaged or not I’d give this house room in a heartbeat!.
