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.

- a large area of the base has been broken into several pieces and restored with associated areas of loss, and a crack extending from the base to the body with associated glaze flakes
- three spur marks on one narrow side, which are original to the manufacture
- a chip to where the glaze pulled to one narrow side
- some degradation to the glaze
