Condition:
The vase is in a very good condition for a 19th century Mandarin vase. However, there is a professional restoration on the heads and claws of two dragons. This is limited to one side; on the other side of the vase, these dragons are in perfect condition. One of the photos shows the vase under UV light, which clearly reveals the restoration. The restoration is not extensive—it concerns only the heads and claws of these dragons (the UV light highlights a larger area because the restoration had to be 'blended out' to ensure it integrated seamlessly with the original colors). The restoration was carried out professionally, making it barely visible to the naked eye.

Every item we sell has been carefully checked for any damages and restorations. We make use of UV light to check this properly. Good packaging and shipped with a tracking number.
