Condition
Overall excellent condition. A rich and dynamic organic form sculpture with a craquelure glaze surface treatment. Some slight irregularities to the glazed surface which are inherent in the making and concentrated to the inner recessed portions of the sculpture. The piece showing two very subtle blue hued areas measuring approximately two inches in length which are inherent in the making. These blue tones are part of the intricacies of the glaze and enhance the overall quality of the piece. A striking design in person.
