Bon état général. Une importante bulle éclatée au bord de la base empiétant sur le corps a été restauréem (un rapport détaillé de la restauration est consultable sur demande). Quelques mineurs fêles de cuissons en surface, notamment a l'intérieur du vase. Quelques petites bulles éclatées autour du col et sur le corps. Une des tête recollée a une époque ultérieure. Overall very good condition. A large open air bubble to the outer perimeter of the base has been professionally restored- see accompanying restorer’s report. One of the mask heads had been separated from the body of the vase due to a large burst air bubble at the time of manufacture. This mask was re-attached at the time, which is supported by the restorer’s report. A minor separation is visible around the mask. With two additional large open air bubbles to the underbase (the larger 4 cm) and with a few very small and minor open air bubbles to the top rim.
