拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
Larger: - the mouth rim is covered with a metal mount and there appears to be a shallow glaze chip under the mouth; the dish has not been examined without its mount and the rim might have been ground down to it’s present shape
- some minor irregularities, burst bubbles and a few bumps to glaze
- a few shallow chips to inner foot rim and some kiln grit adhesion to the reverse, particularly to foot and underside of base
- the dish is slightly warped
smaller: - a glaze gap or firing crack to the reverse
- a few nicks to the mouth rim
- a minor glaze flake to foot
