Condition Report:
The jar is sturdily potted with well painted enamels. There are two rim cracks to the rim, the longest 3 cm, one with a small chip restored. There is a body crack extending from the shoulder down and round above the foot. There is a restoration in the area of the Shoulao and deer showing under UV, the damaged concealed is not apparent. There is some general age-related surface wear, as expected, but overall the enamels have been well preserved.

此器胎質堅固，釉彩精美。口沿見兩道裂紋，最長3公分，其一見一小磕經修復。器身見一道裂紋由肩部向下伸延並環繞足沿上方。紫外燈下可見壽老及鹿一處經修復，損壞處不易察覺。器面見磨損，因年代久遠所致，屬正常，釉彩整體保存甚佳。
