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.
One vase (brighter blue glaze):
-There is a large star crack to the base.
-A large area to the body and the base has been broken into several pieces and restored, with associated overpainting, overspray, a long hairline to the mouth rim, a star crack to the base and a few composite pieces.
-It appears that there are no remnants of gilt-decoration.
The other vase:
-There are faint remnants of gilt-decoration to the exterior. Otherwise this appears to be in overall fairly good condition.
