Condition
Overall in very good condition. There are a few small dark spots on the surface which appear to be minor firing imperfections, as well as a few subtle vertical streaks to the glaze which are inherent in the making. The exterior surfaces with a few scattered traces of a white surface residue (possibly traces of white paint from abrading against a painted surface). The glaze is richer and slightly more vibrant than in the catalogue illustration.
