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.

Overall good condition; the porcelain with typical small chips, losses and minor touch-ups to the flowers and foliage, a few small firing lines to the basket staves in the making; The ormolu with some minor surface scratches, casting flaws, verdigris and rubbing, as to be expected; the ormolu re-gilt with traces of earlier mercury gilding. The slightly taller bouquet with a stem of tole branches bent.
