QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)

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 the changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
The larger:
- the mouth has been mounted with a metal cup
- the foot has been mounted with a hardwood stand
- the base has probably been drilled for mounting
- there are remnants of adhesive encircling the mouth and the foot due to mounting
The smaller:
- some deep crackles that could possibly be hairlines
- a minor burst bubble to the foot
- remnants of adhesive around the mouth on the interior and exterior
- some glaze burst bubbles to the body
