Provenance

Sotheby's New York, December 6, 1997, lot 112

Condition

Overall in good condition. The glaze presents with a wonderfully nuanced surface. The surfaces presents with light surface scratches and minor surface imperfections consistent with age and gentle use. A few areas of sensitively undertaken restoration concentrated along the fins of the fish. One minor crease above the proper left side fin, inherent to the making. A very nice example of the artists' highly-detailed glazed and naturalist design.
