Condition
The ceramic is sound. There are a few small dots of patina losses in places notably to the date. There is some minor wear to the most protuding elements and along the extreme edges of the base. There are some minor dirt ingrained to the patina and a few superficial handling mark in places. The surface is a bit durty. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. This work is in overall very good condition.
