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。

The occasional minor scratch and frit. Mostly in very good condition. The teapot with two cracks to one side extending approx 2 1/2 in. from the rim, would benefit from restoration, also with a small chip to the tip of the spout and a chip to the red banding near this, some crazing mostly to the interior. Some light crazing to the teacup and coffeepot. The coffee pot with a small chip to the inner flange not visible when the cover is placed.

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. The nature of the lots sold means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
