Overall good condition consistent with age. The reverse in raw biscuit with two shallow chips, light surface dirt and finger prints. A minute nick at one corner, visible from the reverse. One small sticker and residue from and old secondary sticker. An applied cork block at the base to rest against the wall and prevent rubbing. The front in excellent condition with a light crazing to the top clear lacquer. As intended with the original design, the clear lacquer doesn't cover 100% of the top, exposing some of the ground ceramic, particularly along the right proper edge of the tree. With period wall mount. The ground of the front is a very deep olive green, difficult to discern in the catalogue illustration.
