Condition
Overall in excellent condition. The patina displays a perfect and rich brown patina with hues of green and lighter brown, more varied in hue than seen in the catalogue illustration. The patinated surfaces with some occasional light surface scratches, minor rubbing to the highest point of the design and surface soiling to the recessed contours, consistent with age and gentle handling. A charming design, with great poetic presence when viewed in person.
