Condition

There are some surface irregularities where the neck joins the body inherent to the artist's process, whereby Picasso joined separate component parts of traditional pottery forms to configure completely new shapes. There is a firing crack on one of the handles and a few tiny paint losses to the brown paint. This work is in overall very good condition.
