Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. Visible only upon close examination, very minor cracks are scarcely scattered over the surface which is inherent to the artist's chosen medium. Uneven distribution of paint is inherent to the artist's chosen method of execution. Evidence of very minor wear to the mouth of the vase and minor abrasion observed around the bottom edge which is consistent with the work's mode of display.
