Condition
The ceramic is sound. There is no evidence of restoration under UV light. There are a few tiny chips to the upper edge and to the lower edge. There are some small areas of superficial scuffs to the glaze, notably below the head of the upper horse and below the right hand leg of the middle horse. There are a few air bubbles and hairline lines of craquelure in places, inherent to the firing process, and some general dust and scattered handling marks. This work is in good condition and could benefit from a light clean.
