Condition
A small chip to the head crown. The tip end of three fingers on the left hand are chipped (showing on the illstration in the catalogue). The index finger of the right hand is repaired in two places. There are expected natural firing cracks to the glaze, the largest on the plateform of the base behind the figure (1.8cm x 2mm), two by the front right corner (1.3 & 1.5cm respectively). A vertical hairline to the rear of the base (5cm), another 4cm on the front (showing on the illustration in the catalogue), some kiln grits around the base, otherwise in good overall condition. Would benefit from a small restoration to the fingers.
