Identification details

- Category: bird's nest
- Marks and details to photograph: the grade, origin, weight, cup shape, fibres, processing and packaging information
Read the exact product name and the visible markings on the bird's nest item from the item and keep it tied to the bird's nest item. That is the starting point for reviewing Bird's Nest Cups — Condition and Packaging Guide.
Photographs and condition
Make the markings readable by photographing full lot, each cup or piece, fibres, shape, thickness, weight and packaging labels. Make sure the overview and detail images clearly belong together.
Capture the current condition of dryness, fibres, shape, colour, breakage, odour and packaging. Leave uncertain damage open for another photograph rather than guessing.
Storage, accessories and handover
Until collection is arranged, keep the bird's nest dry, sealed and protected from pressure. Do not wash or reshape it before review.
Throughout the review, keep each lot with its original package, label, receipt and stated weight.
