拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- There is a 4 cm. wide loss of enamel to the inner foot ring, most probably due to a shock.
- There are some areas of loss of enamel to several sweetmeat dishes, especially on their reverse.
- There are some scattered small losses of enamel.
- There is a star-crack inside the cover.
- There are some crackles and thin cracks to the enamels.
- There are some small nicks to the edges and rims.

General age-related surface wear as can be expected.
