In fair antique condition. Has a fine crack across the base of one handle as shown in the photographs, this may be a firing crack, it is only on the handle and does not go through to the inside of the vase, it is closed and stable so may always have been there. Otherwise there are no chips or cracks and there is no restoration. The piece has fine, clean all over crazing on both the lid and the main vase. Has 2 tiny patches on one handle where the glaze is missing. |
