Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to accurately convey the metallic gold body of the pot.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are some scattered tiny surafce irregularities in places caused by minute airbubbles in the glaze, as is inherent to the artist's working process.
