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.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its intial manufacture.
- The cup is stuck to the wood stand and has not been examined out of the base.
- There is a shallow chip to the top of the interior rim, measuring approx. 0.5 cm wide.
