Condition
Overall in very good condition. The footed bowl with some very light scattered surface scratches. The recessed contours of the design immediately encircling the edge of the base and connecting the bowl to the foot with some light discolorations and very light surface soiling consistent with age. The interior of the bowl with some very light discolorations concentrated along the interior immediate top interior edge of the rim. The hammered surfaces are intricately executed providing a wonderfully tactile and rhythmic effect to the piece. An elegant example of the artist's work with great proportion and attention to surface detailing.
