Condition
There is fine hairline crazing scattered in the white ground. There is a hairline crack, approximately 2.5 in. long to the background behind the ear of the large goat head. This appears to be a natural firing flaw and is stable. There are very minor hairline cracks to the white ground around the rim, each no longer than 1/2 in. The work is in otherwise very good condition.
