Condition

There was a tiny fleck of very minor loss to a air bubble in the glaze to the extreme rim which has been very sensitively restored. This is not visible to the naked eye, but a tiny fleck of fluorescence does appear under ultraviolet light. This excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
