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。

In good, stable condition and ready to place. With the expected light nicks, marks and faint scratches, consistent with age and use. With some lifting, flaking and losses to the painted decoration throughout. The marble with natural inclusions. One with several repaired breaks and associated infill, primarily to one corner. The marbles have been tightly adhered to the bases for earthquake proofing and therefore have not been removed for examination. The ebonized and Japanned areas of decoration considerably refreshed. The gilt decoration with some rubbing, and has been refreshed. With two keys.
