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.

Overall in good decorative condition and ready to place. Both lacking various bits of hardware, resulting in some loose sections of ormolu, specifically the tall formation of bulrushes, though all secure. The ormolu with some minor wear and rubbing as to be expected. The porcelain with some minor firing flaws throughout, along with minor chips, fritting, and craquelure as to be expected. One carp with a long hairline crack extending from a firing imperfection at the base, up approximately 4 inches and around half of the base, with a few further small hairlines emanating from this one; the same with some scattered small areas of touchup. The other carp with restoration to each of his side fins.
