Condition
Overall very good condition. With some slight inclusions inherent in the making which are inherent in the making. The black pitcher showing light surface scratches. In personal, the pitchers present in a deep graphite tone. The rim of the black vase shows a subtle blue tone at the joining of the black and white glazes. The orange pitcher with scattered spots of darker coloration, which are inherent in the making and not an issue of condition. These are scattered throughout, and with small region to the body adjacent to the upper portion of the handle. The green vase with a shallow chip measuring 3/8 x ¼ inch to the spout portion of the interior rim and some light rubbing to the handle from use. The chip is primarily concentrated to the black glazed interior and very minutely crosses into the exterior glaze. Because of the placement of the chip, it doesn’t impact the overall presence of the work, and when righted is almost completely obstructed. Surface dirt to the interiors of all the vessels.
