Condition

Very good overall condition. Some fine scattered scratches to the knop of the lid and to the feet as expected from light use. Some adhesive residue to the feet and would benefit from a light cleaning. The blue glaze is more cobalt, and the green glaze is brighter then they appear in the catalogue illustration.
