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。

The ears have been refixed, the tenons possibly replaced, associated with touch-ups to the gilding.
Both with the double-gourd vase's handles missing.
Some small areas of restoration / in-fills to the enamels.
The double-gourd vases and saddles have been refixed, one elephant with the vase slightly leaning on one side and with a loss of enamel to a side panel of the saddle.
The extremities of the saddle blankets have possibly been refixed with associated losses of enamel along the refixed area.
Some small age cracks to the enamels.
Some pitting to the enamels.
General age-related surface wear and scratches as can be expected.
