More Information

Overall this is in good condition with nice bright colours and the gold work is nicely raised. The mouth of the lip has a possible small firing fault to the glaze, approx. 4mm x 2mm. There is very minor rubbing to the gold rim. The neck is fine in terms of rubbing. There is one small loss of gold work above one of the reliefs, it is about 3mm x 2mm, hardly noticeable at all (see images).
The relief pictures are in good condition as is the base.
Overall in very nice condition.
