Description
en forme de feuille de lotus, les bords ondulés, le pourtour nervuré, sculpté de fleurettes, bouton et graines de lotus, les tiges nouées par des herbes fines formant un pied ajouré et une triple anse sinueuse, la corne d'une belle teinte caramel ambrée, socle en bois
Condition
A 2,5 cm section of the twig forming the foot is chipped and restored with an old wood segment. The curling front section of the twig is also restored. Some wear and light pitting in areas to the border rim but overall, the libation cup is in good condition. The actual colour of the cup is warmer and somewhat more toffee-brown than as suggested in the catalogue illustration.
