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.
- the handle is missing, with associated areas of polishing to where it would have joined the neck and body
- the mouth rim and rim of spout are also polished
- an L-shaped filled firing crack with associated glaze lines to the body near one ridge, and other short firing cracks to the body and to the foot
- some expected light surface scratches and abrasion consistent with age and use
- some spur marks and a glaze gap to the underside of the base, which are original to manufacture
