Condition
Very good overall condition. The glaze is a almost metallic gun-metal grey-black in person when compared to the catalogue illustration. There are three minor restored edge flakes to the rim and a small area of restoration to the tip of the spout. The restorations are conservative and well executed and do not detract from the impact of the piece.
