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 order and appearance, ready to place. The ormolu with some minor surface scratches, casting flaws, verdigris and rubbing, as to be expected. The knop on the vase cover is possibly a later replacement. The ormolu ribbons wrapping around the swags and ram's masks were originally longer according to the Boulton and Fothergill design, and are partially lacking, one more so than the other. But this is not distracting or readily noticeable. The blue john a beautiful color with scattered small well-disguised repairs, the largest one approximately 1 inch by 3/4 in. and located beneath a handle. One side with a light vertical surface scratch across the length. Overall a lovely design and beautiful piece.
