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。
Overall in good, sound condition and ready to place. The ormolu with typical rubbing, scattered faint surface wear, light tarnish, and oxidation. With some minor casting imperfections, as to be expected. The porcelain with light surface scratching. The rims around the tops of the vases slightly loose and turn in place, but secure. The lids of a later date. Later drilled and wired for electricity. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
