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 ‘Sunrise’ example in excellent condition. Some minor frits and scratches, for example to a small area at the base of the orange band near to bottom. The ‘Arabesque’ example has been smashed and repaired to one side. Some associated over painting and to the interior, some chips are visible along the lines where it has broken and an approx 1 in. triangular patch of plaster repair, over painted, to the exterior near the base. Some scattered minor frits overall. Some crazing as expected.

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.
