Overview
Bird's Nest Collection: identification and appraisal guide
Begin with a complete view of Bird's Nest Collection as a whole bird's nest item, then photograph the markings, present condition and accessories that belong with it. Start the detailed views with the exact product name and visible markings on the bird's nest item. Show the packaging separately if its markings differ.
Identification details
- Product name: Bird's Nest Collection
- Category: bird's nest
- Marks and details to photograph: the grade, origin, weight, cup shape, fibres, processing and packaging information
Before discussing condition, confirm the exact product name and visible markings on the bird's nest item. They are the visible reference points for Bird's Nest Collection.
Photographs and condition
Keep enough context around close-ups of complete item, both sides, fibres, shape, thickness, weight and packaging labels. Show the complete item once before adding tightly framed details.
Show dryness, fibres, shape, colour, breakage, odour and packaging. If something is missing, say so and show the remaining packaging clearly.
Storage, accessories and handover
Until Hong Kang advises the next step, keep the bird's nest dry, sealed and protected from pressure. Do not wash or reshape it before review.
While the details are checked, keep the item with its original package, label, receipt and stated weight.
