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.
- small spots of pulling to the glaze
- a firing crack along the luting line between the rim and the bowl on the reverse, and a few further small firing cracks on the base caused by the manufacturing process of this unusually large dish
- some areas of kiln grit adhesion as to be expected
- restoration around the rim with associated areas of overpainting and overspray, with possible use of composite material
- general surface wear and scratches in keeping with age
- a few tiny chips to the foot rim
