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.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- There are some small dents all over.
- There are a few small restoration patches on the cover.
- There are a few casting holes on the body, most probably due to the casting/firing process.
- There are some small casting faults all over and a few small nicks and tiny losses.
- There is a paper label to the base that reads "100"
Otherwise, the censer and cover are in overall good condition with general age-related surface wear as can be expected.
