01.09.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 286: I note that all items are currently intact, the amber carving has multiple areas of chipping at edges; all snuff bottles retain associated stopper and two retain spoon; the hardstone (likely jade) bottle has a single minute chip to the foot; the bowl exhibits gray natural inclusions to the well/ basin and the handles appear structurally secure; and the figure of Shou has a hole drilled to the top of the head for stringing to fashion as a pendant
