Condition

Overall in excellent condition. When examined under black light there is no evidence of prior restoration. With a few minute scattered surface imperfections to the glaze inherent in the making. With three felt glider pads to the underbase. With original paper label to underbase which has some small minor losses. A beautiful example of this rare model displaying an exceptional glaze.
