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。

No cracks or restorations detected. A few small deposits of medium to the handle and to the inside of the neck of the jug, possibly from the time of execution. A tiny chip to the glaze on the right side. Minor inconsistencies to the grey engobe around the right eye, nose and beneath the mouth as a result of water on the medium. Four soft scratches above the right eyebrow and one or two minor scratches to the engobe elsewhere. Light surface dirt throughout most notable to the left ear and below the left eyelid. The underside with very minor fritting to the footrim. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the present work appears to be in generally very good condition.
