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。

Overall in good condition. The ormolu with typical rubbing, light oxidation and tarnish, and some small areas of verdigris, as to be expected with age. With some minor scattered surface nicks, faint marks and light scratches. The interior of the cache-pots with further oxidation and verdigris, consistent with age and use. One porcelain well in generally good condition, with some light scratches and typical fine craquelure and glaze lines all over. The other previously broken and heavily restored, now of a slightly darker color. Present well together.
