Condition
This work is in good and sound condition overall. There are scattered scuffs and abrasions at the point where the mushroom stalk meets the head and the underside of the stalk where the sculpture meets the floor. There are other minor surface abrasions scattered across the surface of the sculpture which are visible under raking light, though there are no apparent areas of loss to the enamel. There are a few areas of adhesive residue caused by adhered labels and tape, particularly on the underside of the mushroom head. The surface could benefit from a full cleaning.
