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 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.
