Condition

The neck of the vase slightly leans to one side. A 1.5 by 3 cm C-shaped area of the exterior of the mouth has been restored with repainting and re-spray, probably to a shallow flake to the rim. There are some kiln grits to the exterior of the vase which has been polished down. There are also some minor fritting to the rim, burst air bubbles, as well as some potting and firing flaws such as kiln grits and iron spots to the base.
