Condition

Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the surfaces present with a vivid red and highly nuanced blues and greens which are even brighter than in the catalogue illustration. The glaze with a few minor irregularities inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with a few light scratches and surface dirt consistent with gentle handling. A great example with strong visual presence when viewed in person, the flowers show a beautiful sense of movement.
