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.
Each in overall good condition; with minor surface wear and scratches; scattered imperfections in the making; the example with inscriptions with a rim line extending approx. 3 in., with a few shallow glaze losses, particularly to the underside of the flared rim, with a glaze line to the body near two figures; the other vase with some fritting to the rim, with a glaze line (possibly a hairline) issuing from 1⁄4 down the neck extending approx 7 in. to the base of the neck; the shades with minor wear, creasing and light fading. Not examined out of mounts. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of electrical items.
