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。

Minor surface dirt and scuffs in places. At the upper centre, a hole has been drilled for hanging, with very tiny associated loss to the engobe. Evidence of cosmetic repainting and restoration. A few small chips and losses to the engobe, predominantly at the rim, most repainted and restored. An inconsistency to the surface at the upper right rim, presumably from the time of execution. Examined under ultra-violet light, there is evidence of restoration to a diagonal crack across the diameter of the plate, and a few possible further restorations in places.
