Description

  • diameter 15 1/8 in.
  • 38.2 cm
painted with a spotted yellow deer and a crane beneath a pine tree. Minor restoration to rim.

Condition

There is a small 1/4 inch patch of flaked enamel on the needles of the pine tree. There are three patches of restoration to the rim under the rim edge, each approximately 1 inch by 1/2 inch, presumably covering chips to the underside rim edge. The restoration is very well done.
