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。

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
An approx. 10 cm. wide C-section starting from the mouth rim extending to the well broken in several pieces and restored with associated extensive overspraying and touch-ups, as well as faded decoration in the well.
Some nicks under the foot rim.
Some wear to the enamels and a few flakes to the enamels.
Wear to the gilding.
A circular paper label reading 'R.H.R.P. / 222' on the base.
An oval paper label reading 'ORIENTAL CERAMIC SOCY. / 19.. EXHIB N...' on the base (with faded handwritten numbers to complete).
Age-related surface wear and scratches as can be expected.
Please note that this dish 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.
