Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the glaze presents a highly detailed surface with dark blues, red and amber. The glaze with a few minor air bubbles and minor irregularities inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with occasional shallow scratches consistent with gentle handling. A very rare decorative motif in very good condition.
