拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

We have sought to record changes in the condition of these pieces acquired after their initial manufacture.

The figure of Shoulao:
- The head and one shoulder have been broken off and restuck.
- There are some chips and nicks to the extremities, particularly to the edges of the robes and to the tip of the peach.
- There is some minor water damage to the surface of the soft wood stand.

The 'bamboo' carving:
- There is a short crack and associated tiny chip to one edge.
- There are a few areas of natural flaw within the stone. Otherwise this is in overall fairly good condition.
- The carving is 13.5 cm. long.
