Condition

There are some occasional bruises or minor nicks to the edges of the marriage bowl, both around the mouth rim and foot rim or to some edges of the melon carving on the interior but overall the vessel is in good condition. There are a few natural inclusions or lightly calcified areas as visible on the photo, including a 5 cm. grey and black linear inclusion to the upper left of the melon carving on the interior. The actual colour is consistent with the catalogue illustration if not slightly more pale celadon.
