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.

Generally good order, present well. Both ducks with some small restored rim chips to the edges, particularly where the upper and lower halves meet, and to feather tips; both with a short (1.5 in. and 2.5 in. approx.) hairline crack near where the wing meets the body (faintly visible to the interior). The lower halves with chips and small restorations to the ducks toes; green felt partially covering the undersides (not removed), but the marks visible. The tureen cover with greenish back feathers with restoration to its beak and to the two upturned small curled feathers near the wing tips.
