Condition
The ceramic is sound, the lower right corner is missing (as per the catalogue illustration and the catalogue raisonné). A close inspection reveals some minor craquelure on the recto which appears to be inherent to the use of heat in the execution process. Apart from some light wear to the edges and the protruding areas of the verso, this work is in very good condition.
