拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
One dish: There is a tiny shallow chip to the mouth rim which has been overpainted, measuring approximately 0.3 cm. long.
The other dish: A semicircular section of the rim has been broken in two pieces and restuck, with associated chips (some of these chips are kept separately). There are three very short hairline cracks emanating from the mouth rim, the largest measuring approximately 1 cm. long.
There is general age-related surface wear and scratches to each dish.
