CHINA, QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)

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 since its initial manufacture.
- a small shallow chip and a few minute negligible nicks to the rim of the inkwell
- a polished flaw to the back near the foot
- a few other expected minor flaws and fine fissures in the stone which are inherent from the material
- some expected minor surface wear
- otherwise appears to be in overall good condition
