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 these pieces acquired after their initial manufacture.

The double gourd vase:
Good overall condition with minute glaze burst bubbles along the mouth rim.

The ewer and cover:
A nick to the cover's inner rim.
A hole has been drilled on the cover, with associated nicks alongside it.
An old small shallow chip to the ewer's mouth rim.
A few small chips to the glaze above the foot rim.

The punch bowl:
Some flakes to the enamels.
Several shallow nicks under the foot ring, some nicks to the surface.
A nick to the mouth rim.
Some areas of abrasions.

All pieces with some wear to the gilding and general age-related surface wear and scratches as can be expected.
