Condition
The ceramic is sound. There is some stable hairline craquelure to the clear top glaze throughout. A few scattered dark specks of medium in the background which appear to be original. There are three small gaps in the glaze on the underside due to the removal of the kiln stilts and inherent to the firing process as well as some spots of old museum wax. This work is in good overall condition.
