Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the colour is darker and richer than illustrated in the catalog. The bowl with a few faint surface scuffs and very minor edge abrasions to the inner rim and the edge of the underside of the base. The bowl with a few scattered hairlines throughout the body which have been filled at the time of production. This is common in turn woods works by Moulthrop. The underside with a tool notch for the purposes of wall display and a series of very faint watermarks consistent with age. The outer edge with a small circular original label with handling instructions. An excellent work that demonstrates the prolific nature of Moulthrop's designs.
