Condition
The ceramic is sound. There is some very minor scuffing to the extreme edges and some minor bubbling with associated spots of loss in the dark red pigment which is original and inherent to the thickness of the slip application. There are some remnants of old museum wax on the verso. This work is in overall good condition.
