拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

We have sought to record changes in the condition of these pieces acquired after their initial manufacture.

Both vases with a network of crackles characteristic of this type of glaze, which does not allow us to determine if some of them might me hairlines, especially on the mouth rim.

The smaller vase:
There are some minute flat nicks to the base.
There are some surface scratches.
The vase is in good overall condition.

The larger vase:
There is a chip under the foot ring.
There is a surface nick to the mouth rim associated with an horizontal 4 cm. long hairline.
There is a minor frit to the tip of a chilong back spike and to an ear of the other chilong.

Both vases with light general age-related surface wear and scratches as can be expected.
