KANGXI PERIOD (1662-1722)

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Each with minor surface wear and scratches as to be expected; each cover with some fritting and scattered small losses to the rim; some tiny scattered chips to the vases' footrims; one with a crack to the shoulder, extending into a hairline up to the rim and curving downwards into a Y-shaped hairline, one of the branches circling back up towards the shoulder; as noted in the cataloging, each drilled at its base; the knops of their covers removed and drilled for lamping, one retained; both lacking shade fitments; only one base examined with its wood mount removed; please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of electrical items.
