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.

The translucent snuff bottle:
- Few minute nicks on the rims and edges.
- An approx. 1 cm. long hairline crack on the foot rim.
- Some surface scratches.
- The stopper with nicks to the rims and a hairline.
- The spoon is missing.

The overlay snuff bottle:
- Few minute star-cracks to the mouth rim, possibly due to a shock.
- Minute nicks on the rims and edges.
- Minute surface scratches.
- The spoon is missing.

Both with general age-related surface wear as can be expected.
