We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
The cover's finial is loose.
Some nicks to the edges and rims, and some indentations to the surface.
Some wear to the gilding.
A bamboo stem on the spout has been chipped off, a few relief flowers rising from a relief branch have possibly been chipped off.
The handle has possibly been reattached to the body.
A section of the gilt petal frieze under the mouth rim does not lay perfectly on the body.
General age-related surface wear and scratches as can be expected.
