Condition
Overall in very good condition. When examined under black light, there are no visible traces of any prior restoration. With some occasional surface scratches and minor abrasions marks to the exterior and interior of the bowl. The bowl presents beautifully in person, displaying impressive scale and incredibly well defined carving. The colors of the glaze are more vibrant (especially the blue reserve glaze) when seen in person than in the catalogue illustration (which is slightly too dark and red).
