Condition
The ceramic is sound. There is some stable hairline craquelure to the clear top glaze in places, notably on the neck of the vase and to the upper part of the handle. There is some light wear on the underside and around the rim of the opening as well as a few surface scuffs around the base of the jug, consistent with age and handling. This work is in overall very good condition.
