We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture. The seal: There is a minute circular crack due probably to a shock on one edge of the soapstone seal. The jade duck: Some small natural inclusion within the stone, an area associated with calcification associated with light abrasion to the lotus base. Overall general surface wear and minute surface scratches.
