CIRCA 1800

拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

Good restored condition overall and ready to use. Overall with minor inevitable surface scratches, marks, knocks, abrasions and wear, consistent with age and handling. Shrinkage splits visible along the sectional lines of the bodies. The metal tarnished and discolored in places, and with some polish deposits. The lacquer to the handles more worn through use. ‌Both buckets lacking liners and with a later greenish-black wash. Bucket A with one slightly loose section but secure. Bucket B with two paler staves where handles mounted; possibly replaced.
