Condition
The plate is sound. The slips are thickly applied and well-preserved. There is some stable craquelure in the clear top glaze. There are two small chips to the glaze on the reverse of the centre right edge. Three small gaps in the glaze on the underside which are original and due to the removal of the kiln stilts. This work is in overall good condition.
