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。

Although generally structurally sound and ready to use, could benefit from further restoration, particularly to the undertier. With scattered age and construction cracks, general overall marks, nicks, scratches, fading, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use, most prominently as large chips and losses along the back edge. Some minor areas of debris accumulation in recessed areas. As stated in the cataloguing, originally with a plate rack, two rectangular plugged mortises at the back corners. The back bowed outward from the body, not unstable. Some boards to undertier loose or replaced, some separation to the joints throughout this tier. Some old worm damage, now inactive, throughout. The handles apparently original.
