All of the ceramic elements appear in excellent overall condition with no damage or restoration. There is a single, tiny instance of a possible loss to the underside of the gold lustred dish, only visible upon extremely close inspection. This may even be in keeping with the nature of the artist's manufacture. There are some slight instances of scuffing to the black case, again, only visible upon extremely close inspection, but this excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition.
