MID-19TH CENTURY, BLUE JP MARKS

拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

Overall good condition; each with some rubbing, and losses to the gilding and enamels; the stoppers later associated and overpainted, possibly made of plaster; the Sultan with a crack across the base mostly obscured by old overpaint, now flaking and a later wooden hookah (the top spindle reattached) and repairs and overpaint to his foot; the Sultana's head likely broken off and reattached with associated overpaint, her hand also restored and overpainted, a few scattered small chips including to the hem of her robes and the beak of the bird.
