Condition
Painted terracotta, with glaze to parts of the black paint. There are a few fine lines of cracking due to the firing process to the upper part of the neck of the condor. Apart from some minor discolouration in places, consistent with age and handling, this work is in overall very good original condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
