Condition
The bowl is in very good overall condition with the exception of some minor glaze firing imperfections including a 5mm., shallow firing line to the side, tiny glaze pulls, iron-spots and light glaze scratches. It should be noted that the glaze is of a brighter and more apple-green tone than the catalogue illustration would suggest.
