QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY

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 with a few age cracks and with a few chips and minor losses to the lacquer on the carved decoration. One with an approximate 1 in. crack to the petal border at the base of its neck, with an approximate ³⁄₄ in. loss, an approximate ¹⁄₂ in. loss and a third loss to the lacquer on the carved decoration to the body of the vase. The same vase with two losses to the lacquer on the carved decoration to the foot and with a further crack with associated losses. With glue residue apparent. The other with several small losses to the lacquer on the low relief and with areas of infill/touch-up to the carved deocration. Each mounted as lamps and drilled to the undersides. The vases not examined out of the mount. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
