Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the background tends more towards true white, the contouring of the lettering is a mixture of pink and neon pink and the outline of the dish is light purple in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a hairline tension crack running intermittently along the extreme outer edges. Further very close inspection reveals some minor evidence of handling towards the edges and three minute media accretions; one to the upper edge, towards the upper right corner, another to the lower left edge and a third towards the lower right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
