Condition
Structurally sound. There is an old repaired spot to the glaze at the extreme edge of the rim, about half the size of a 2p piece. This is understood to be historical damage, occurring before it was gifted by the artist to the previous owner and possibly in line with a minor firing imperfection. This is only noticeable upon extremely close inspection and does not detract from the overall appearance of the work. There are further tiny traces of very minor surface dirt and matter, but this excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
