Condition

The bowl is in excellent condition with no visible chips, crazing, or dents. No signs of restoration. There are some minor firing and glazing flaws, most likely to be original to the artwork. When inspected under the UV light, there is a small network of accretions that do not affect the overall work. Wear to its footrim, consistent with age and use.
