Condition

The ceramic is sound. There is some very minor scuffing to the underside. There is some bubbling to the glaze on the figure's proper right cheek, which appears to be original. There are some scattered specks of slip in the background, also possibly original. There are some very minor craquelure to the top clear glaze in places. This work is in overall very good condition.
