Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The surfaces are unevenly textured except for the top, which has a smooth finish. There are small holes and crevices scattered throughout the concrete, which is inherent to the medium. The exposed porcelain is inherent to the artist's working method. There are signs of light handling, wear, and minor surface soiling, which are inherent to the work.
