Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the light pink ceramic tends more towards sand in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to convey the metallic nature of the glazing in the black shape. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition.
