Condition
Very Good Condition. This unglazed vase has been recently cleaned. There are a few tiny losses to the white pigment along rim and base with minor scuffs to surface. A vertical crack several inches in length which is original to the work from the date of firing is visible inside the work about half way down. The crack has been restored and is not visible on the exterior of the work.
