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.
Drilled at the bases; a few scattered minor frits and shallow chips; not examined out of the fitments; one vase with a repaired demilune section at the rim, the other with a vertical line near the rim at the reverse, possibly in the making; otherwise in good condition; please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting or the condition of shades. Sotheby's recorded the vases having pseudo-Chinese seal marks and painted Gien 56 marks, but the vases have since been mounted as lamps and the marks are no longer visible.
131⁄2 in. (34.3 cm.) high, the vases
