Condition

This work is in excellent original condition. The ceramic is sound and the colours remain remarkably vivid and fresh. A close inspection reveals some minor shrinkage in the white pigment of the flat upper surface and some minor scratches along the outside of the base. There are small spots of wear to the glaze: to the upper left of the signature, on the outside of the upper left corner and the outside of the lower right corner.
