Condition
Painted and glazed ceramic jug. There is a small burst air bubble to the rim of the jug, and some very fine lines of paint shrinkage, all of which are inherent to the firing process. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the blue is slightly brighter in the original.
