Condition
Overall excellent condition. This piece when examined under blacklight shows no evidence of prior restorations. In person this piece displays a wonderful color palette ranging from pale icy blues to brilliant bright blue tones. The crater glaze creates a deeply sculptural and detailed exterior, which is further heightened by the glaze application and color selection. With some minor surface dirt to the interior, likely from use. A wonderful example of the intricacies that characterize the work of Otto and Gertrud Natzler.
