Overall in very good condition. The glazed ceramic surfaces present with very light surface scratches throughout consistent with gentle use as well as irregularities in surface and glaze application which are inherent to the making. The underglaze surface presents with light craquelure throughout consistent with age. The glazed ceramic surfaces with occasional and very minimal surface soiling concentrated to the top of the lamp base. The lamp base presents with two holes, one at the top and one near the bottom edge inherent to the making. The vessels have been inspected under blacklight and show no apparent evidence of prior restoration.
