Condition

All four plaques forming the sides of the box and the one forming the cover can slide out, and have been inspected out of the metal frame. There are small chips and minute fritts, some of them polished, to the edges of the plaques. The actual colour of the stone is more celadon than the catalogue illustration suggests.
