Condition

Overall very good condition with minimal overall wear. One minor star crack to the edge of the base approximately 5mm wide. Some air bubbles in the glaze due to the firing process. The artists signature clearly defined. The electrical element is sheared off and will need a qualified electrician to mend and to check the workings. Presents extremely well.
