Condition
The ceramic is sound and the kiln element is firmly secured. There is some very minor wear and handling marks to the underside and around the edges. There is a network of stable craquelure to the top clear gaze, not visually disturbing. There are a few multi-coloured specks of slip in the background, possibly original. This work is in overall very good condition.
