拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

Overall good condition with minor irregularities inherent in the making. With very few faint surface scratches, only visible upon very close inspection. The metalwork with light oxidation typical with aging of this material and with one oxidation spot in the decoration, not detracting to the overall appearance. With homogeneous wear to the patina concentrated to the inside of the bowl, commensurate with age and gentle use and not detracting to the overall appearance. With light wear to the patina on the reverse, particularly to the high points. Presents well, ready for display.
