Condition

Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces present with natural wear, minor rubbing and light scuffs and scratches, as is consistent with age and gentle handling. There is an area of faint inconsistency in finish near the aperture of the vessel, this is not overtly visible, but noticeable to the touch. A very minor edge abrasion and minor dents at the edge of the underside of the base. Consistent with gentle handling. The saturated tones at the top of the vessel are slightly less overt, and more nuanced, when viewed in person. Executed in a richly figured lepoard maple, the vessels presents very well overall.
