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.

Good overall presentation, ready to place. Some intrinsic kiln imperfections, in the making, including the typical glaze drips and pops and inherent variation in color. The glaze to each overall with a fine general craquelure. Each with restoration to its finial, one lacking the head to one of the small figures at its top. Possible touch-up to the cold-painting over the cartouches and inscriptions, a small chip off one character. Recessed areas and interiors with the expected minor debris accumulation. Please note: one has been examined off its gilt metal stand, the other has not been possible to remove.
