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.

Present well overall. With some wear and surface scratches, as to be expected with age and handling. The tea caddy with rubbing to the top, the lacquer with some minor areas of lifting and small chips, and small losses to the carved wood feet; the interior with two pewter tea canisters with some denting, one lacking cover; lacking key. The larger black lacquer box inlaid with mother-of-pearl; the lacquer with some warping to the corners and some shrinkage cracks; the box unable to be opened. The small oval box with some wear to the base.
