Condition
The mouth rim has been restored. There are small scattered flake chips at the edges and a 3 cm wide patch of touch-up paint on the body. There are firing flaws throughout, including burst glaze bubbles. The glaze is dry with heavy wear and is starting to deteriorate in scattered areas. The underside still bears the Dr. Ip Yee auction label, and there is a marking in pen.
