Condition

The ceramic is sound. There is some surface dirt and some handling marks. There is rubbing to the base and the underside. There are two chips to the rim. Fine light abrasions to the surface. One of the handles is missing and the place where it joined the main body is not restored. There is a hairline crack to the lower end of the existing handle. The top part of the handle appears to have been repaired and there appears to be associated retouching to the area. There is what appears to be a pin hole to the middle of the handle, which seems to be original to the work and form. The work is in overall good condition.
