Condition

Z 5156 has a very minor, small, faint and non-disfiguring scratch to the top of the riverbank on the left; the ochre/yellow decoration of the fairy on the bat, the flying imp and two figures on the riverbank is slightly overfired, giving it a bubbled surface. Otherwise both in generally good condition.
