Condition

The bowl is in very good overall condition. There are scattered pin-point imperfection to the glaze on the interior of the bowl and a tiny glaze pull to the base where the foot joins the base. The enamels are fresh, with a nice lustre and the colours are of more translucent, warmer tones than the catalogue illustration suggests.
