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。

Very good condition overall. Thickly potted and width. Light crazing overall. Some glaze imperfections in the making to the red squares, not obvious. An early shape. The ‘blue trees’ in very good condition. Drilled to the base and on side near base for electricity as stated. A chalet chip to the foot rim in the making. The molded example with metal fitment to the top. Drilled for electricity to the side. Christie’s does not guarantee the working order of electrical items.

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. The nature of the lots sold means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
