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.
- Some of the tiny pieces of coral 'earth' are loose, some are missing.
- There are few chips/nicks to the rims/corners and old restored splits to some of the vertical blue glass panels with associated overpainting/fill. These panels were formerly covered with a varnish which has some cracks and losses.

- There is rubbing to the blue enamel on the pearls, five of which are missing.
- There are few losses/nicks to the enamels especially to the turquoise enameled petals( some associated to areas of restoration).
- There are tiny nicks to the extremities of the blue glass lingzhi plaques.
