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 Daoguang mark and period bowl:
- This is in good overall condition.

The Tongzhi bowl:
- There is a tiny nick to the rim measuring max. approx. 0.1 cm. diam. and another very minute nick to the rim.

- Each bowl has very light rubbing to the gilt rim and general age-related surface wear as can be expected.
