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。

The wing-form covers are stuck to the body, they cannot be opened.

One incense burner:
- There are some small areas of losses to the enamels which have been filled-in.

- There is some wear to the gilding.

The other incense burner:
- There is an area of restoration (approx. 1.5 cm. diam.) on the chest.
- There are a few small areas of losses to the enamels which have been filled-in.
