Condition

There are two tiny scratches to the centre of the upper rim, probably due to the rubbing of the metallic hanger. There is very light craquelure to the lower part of the face, intrinsic to the firing process and there are some air bubbles and irregularities in the glaze, inherent to the artist's process. Otherwise, this work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
