CHINA, LATE QING DYNASTY

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired since its initial manufacture.

- appear to be in overall good condition, with some expected minor inclusions and light mottling which are inherent from the material
