condition
Condition is excellent: there is a small glaze frit/chip to the underside of the rim below the leaf tip. Some minor glaze losses at the rim and some light discolouration to the reverse. A short hairline in the glaze to the underside only and a short firing line also that can only be seen from underneath. No restoration and very minor handling wear.
