Condition
The ceramic is sound. There is a network of stable shrinkage in the black pigment possibly inherent to the firing process and a few tiny air bubbles in places. There are some lines of minor scuffs to the extreme edges as well as a few lines of original process losses to the glaze ingrained with dust on the underside. There are glue remnants from former labels on the underside and some general dust. This work is in overall good condition.
