The overall condition of the cup is quite good. There are a few small nicks and chips along the furled rim, the largest of approximately 0.5 cm. in length. A few bug bites are also visible along the rim of the cup. There is a small chip of approximately 0.3 x 0.2 cm. in size to the long bent leaf on the exterior; one of the dragonflies' wings also has a small chip. There is also an approximately 0.5 cm. long chip to the stem forming the base.
