CHINA, QING DYNASTY (1644-1911) OR EARLIER

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 these pieces acquired after their initial manufacture.
- Some age cracks.
- A few tiny losses of lacquer.
- The biggest box with a section of the cover's top rim missing, some touch-ups, some small chips/nicks to the edges and rims.
- The middle-size box with the cover not lying perfectly on the body, relacquering inside the cover and to the rims.
- The smallest box with a metallic body, some losses of lacquer, some relacquering mainly inside and on the rims, some small chips / nicks to the rims.
General age-related surface wear and scratches as can be expected.
