QING DYNASTY, 18TH 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.

We have sought to record the changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- A small section of the base appears to have been re-carved
- Sections of the mouth rim have been lightly buffed
- There is a small knock to one of the lingzhi heads, with an associated fissure; and some other expected minute nicks to the edges and extremities
- There are a few fissures in the stone, most of which are inherent, and some might be associated with polishing and re-carving
