Condition
The ceramic is in overall good condition. There is what appears to be a vertical firing crack to the vase, beginning at the widest part of the vessel and reach down to the foot, encircling the base. This measures approximately 6 in. in length. This appears to be stable. There is a further more minor hairline crack (approximately 2.5 in. long) to the red ground towards the lower half of the vase. There is some surface dirt and minor rubbing to the sides consistent with age. There are some light handling marks but otherwise fine.
