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.

The body:
- The neck has been restored and entirely oversprayed, the restoration does not allow us to determine the extent of the damage
- There is an approx. 2 x 1 cm. piece of porcelain missing inside the body (not visible outside), possibly original to the firing process.
- There is a small star-crackle only visible inside the body.
- There is a small chip and some small glaze flakes to the foot.

The cover:
- There is an approx. 12 cm. long star-crack to the cover.
- There is an old flat chip to the inner rim.
- There is a small firing crack to the inner rim.

- There are some scattered short deep scratches.
- There are a few scattered enamel flakes on both the cover and the body.

General age-related surface wear and scratches as can be expected.
