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 since its initial manufacture.
-X-rays show the vessel is in overall good condition
-X-rays show there is a fine horizontal crack above the bow-string band on one side
-there are some chips to the mouth rim and foot rim, and to the raised bow-string bands
-as can be seen in the catalogue illustration, there are patches of malachite encrustation, and some areas of roughness to the surface
