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.

With the expected surface wear and scratches; scattered minor bruising; with small losses and flaking to the enamels; further condition noted below.

A pair of footed bowls; 7³⁄₄ in. high -- each with scattered losses and cracking to the enamel; one with the rim slightly bent, with an area of enamel loss to the interior and another to the exterior near the rim and to the knop at the top of the socle; the other with a crescent-shaped area of enamel loss to the footrim; some blackening to the gilt scrollwork band below the handles, possibly where the gilding has worn and silver below has tarnished.

Four crescent-shaped side dishes; 11 in. long -- one with a loss to a corner of its underside; one with a few very small losses to its reverse rim.

Two leaf-form side dishes; 10¹⁄₂ in. long -- one with losses to the one of the overlapping leaves; the gilt on the stems possibly refreshed.
