Condition

Overall excellent condition. This work when viewed in person displays a more brilliant turquoise tone than it appears in the catalogue. The bowl is hand-thrown and presents with minor inconsistencies to the surface as seen in the catalogue illustration. This vessel is a rare closed form by the artists which is heightened by this brilliant hue. A wonderful example of a rare work
