The work is very slightly dirty, and there are three mall losses to the patina: these are located along the back of the upper edge, at lower right edge and just left of the woman's torso (visible in the catalog illustration). a few thin cracks and fissures are inherent to the firing process. Overall the work is in good condition. Colors are a bit deeper in actuality than in the catalog illustration.
