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 the changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- As seen in the illustration, there is some loss to the pigments, scratching and chips/pitting to the surface, as well as chips to edges
- there is overspraying/ pigments being refreshed around the mouth, particularly to the inner mouth
- there are two networks of fine cracks to the base, only visible on the exterior
- some expected surface degratdation near the base
- two illegible characters following "790 ehhh" are written on the base in black ink
