Condition
Overall very good original condition. The surface with a few minor irregularities, including minute burst air bubbles, inherent to the material and production. With surface dirt concentrated to the recessed contours of the design. There are some minor losses to the ground that attaches the ceramic elements of the frame and presents slightly lighter in color, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The mirror with some minor discoloration and silver losses consistent with age, visible in the catalogue illustration. This is a large scale work that incorporates a highly sculptural frame and shows the artist unique aesthetic.
