The cover is associated. There are minute chips around the mouth, mouth of the spout, and a number of hairline cracks. On one side, there is a star crack to one of the figure's feet, and a horizontal crack through the knee and a number through the left hand. There is also a pronounced crackle in the glaze. There is depression left by a piece of kiln grit that has come loose on the index finger and a shallow glaze chip to the little finger of the right hand. On the other side, there is also a crackle visible on the lower body and close to the right hand, and there is a chip to the right foot.
