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。

Minor wear and slight rubbing is to the turning edges and tiny losses are to the corner-tips. Visible under close inspection, faint abrasions, small scuffs and handling marks are occasional, most notably to the upper half. A few pinpoint losses are occasional, most notably to the red painted passages. Visible under close inspection, a hairline crack, along with a few other fine cracks, is above and right of center in a red painted passage. Pinpoint accretions are occasional. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
