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.

In overall good decorative order.
Some slight rubbing, wear and minor losses to the gilding and enamels throughout as to be expected with age and use.
The ice-pail with a section broken out and restored across the reserve painted with grapes and restored, sprayed to conceal the damage with some small areas of associated overpainting and regilding. The spray is visible to the interior. Some overpainting to the blue ground in the same area.
Three of the dessert-plates (the examples painted with figs, plums and crab apples) all with evidence of clear lacquer to the borders, suggesting possible refreshing to the blue-ground or gilding, or possibly disguising small hairline cracks to the rims. With some small areas of associated overpainting and regilding. The others in good order.
