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 this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- There are a few very minute nicks to the surface, edges/rims.
- There are natural light russet inclusions within the stone.
- The jadeite stopper with minute nicks and traces of glue ; the spoon is missing.
Otherwise, the snuff bottle is in good overall condition with slight general age-related surface wear and natural flaws within the stone as can be expected.
