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。

We have sought to record changes in the condition of these pieces acquired after their initial manufacture.
An X-shaped hairline crack mostly visible inside the cup, with associated tiny losses along the lines inside the cup.
A minute surface nick under the rim's mouth rim.
A few enamel flakes inside the cup and to the saucer.
A star-hairline crack in the center of the saucer, visible under the base, and almost not visible to the naked eye to the decorated side.
Little wear to the enamels.
General age-related surface wear and minute firing faults as can be expected.
Please note this cup and saucer was displayed in a cabinet at the Palmer Family home, Hurst Grove, and appears in an old black and white photograph published in the catalogue.
