About this copy
This is the official Sotheby's auction sale catalogue produced for the 'Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art' sale held in London on 16 May 2012. It is a single printing issued for this specific auction, illustrated in colour throughout with full lot descriptions, dimensions, provenance details, and pre-sale estimates for the ceramics, jades, cinnabar lacquer, and other works of art offered. Softcover (wrappers) binding, as issued for this sale.
No dust jacket, as is standard for this type of catalogue.
Condition
- Book
- Good - The glossy laminated covers show extensive surface scuffing and light scratching to both front and rear, plus some corner wear at the spine edge. Text block and interior pages appear clean and unmarked in the photographed pages, with no foxing or tears noted. This is a used, previously-handled reference copy rather than a pristine one.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
