Condition
The ceramic is sound. There is some minor wear to the base of the plate. There is some stable hairline craquelure in the top clear glaze which is not visually distracting. There is a small chip in the blue pigment on the tip of the nose and two small imperfections to the zig-zag empreinte element at upper right which are original. The work is in overall very good condition.
