Condition
There is an old area of restoration to the rim, in line with a probable splitting in the firing. This has been in-filled with a wax-like resin, and is thought to have been executed by the Artist prior to it leaving her studio.
Elsewhere there are one or two smaller imperfections visible to the glaze, including some light bubbling, visible on the inside and outside, and again in keeping with the nature of the artist's materials and techniques. There are some further light traces of surface dirt, but this excepting the work appears in good overall condition.
