Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although they are slightly darker in the original, and the catalogue illustration does not show the materials inside of the dish. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some minor and unobtrusive wear to the base, and some light wear to the top of the base where it supports the dish. Some light dust has settled inside the dish.
