Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in good condition. There is a pattern of craquelure in the glaze throughout, most notably to the face. There are also drying cracks to the ceramic in places, most notably underneath the face and to the delicate branches that hang from the face. Close inspection reveals some associated small losses to the branches, some of which have been readhered and reapired. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals some uneven fluorescence to the branches.
