Condition

Structurally sound. There are some minor areas of possible old loss to the rim of the foot, which are smooth and could be in line with a firing imperfection. There are some minor traces of surface dirt and matter, and a couple of instances of very minor pitting to the glaze, only visible upon extremely close inspection, but this excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition. Please contact the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
