Condition

This impressive libation cup is in in very good condition with the exception of a 15 x 2mm shallow area of polish to the tip of the rim, a 3 x 2mm flake to the edge of the left foot of the dragon on the rim, and a tiny nick to the edge of the same dragons tail. It should be noted that the stone is of a slightly more pale celadon tone than the catalogue illustration would suggest.
