Condition
Overall very good condition with no restoration or damage detected. There lower interior well has some very minor surface rubbing/fine surface abrasions – there are also several tiny shallow indents to the same area – however these do not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the bowl. Please note that the base color of the bowl is far darker than how it appears in the catalogue and online photograph.
