Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the orange tends more towards neon in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The underside of the sculpture is unglazed. Very close inspection reveals a very thin and unobtrusive crack to the lower and right edge on the inside and outside of the rim, which appears to be stable, with a few tiny specks of loss towards the centre of the lower edge.
