Condition
A decorative piece of good overall appearance. Catalogue illustration is slightly richer in colour than suggested by catalogue illustration. Colour tones change from brown to green, as seen in the background foliage in the catalogue illustration which may be as a result of mis-firing in the kiln. Two birds are brown/red as per catalogue illustration, the other is more green. Some typical burst bubbles to surface. Ready for display.
