Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. All of the elements are well intact. The ceramic elements are affixed on the reverse with fiberglass, which is slightly visible at the seams in a few locations, due to the artistÂ’s working method. There are some faint surface scratches throughout. There is fine, unobtrusive craquelure in the pink glaze and one inherent hairline crack in the black glaze, due to the artist's working method and choice of medium. There are a few minor nicks noted on the interior edges of the black glazed ceramic in the upper part of the composition.
