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 the changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
It is in our opinion that the property is in fair overall condition for its age, except:
-There are some expected lacquer losses, chips, cracks and surface wear.
-There are areas with dark discolorations possibly due to smoking, as can be seen in the online illustrations.
-There are cracks to both hands.
