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。

In good overall condition; a few minor intrinsic flaws, in the making, including a short firing line to the lady’s proper right temple and dark kiln speck just below her neck; some light scratches and wear throughout, consistent with age and handling, including a short scratch with some staining to the lower left of the speck below the lady’s neck; some tiny chips to raised areas, mostly to the flower petals along the lady’s garland and scattered areas where the drapery is thinnest; a small white accretion to the ribbon tying back the gentleman's hair; the reverse of each with some discoloration from contact with the nails that have held it in its frame. Please note: Christie’s does not guarantee the condition of frames.
