Lot 112

In excellent condition throughout consistent with age and handling. At the uppermost register, there is above and below the broad ridge a series of fine horizontal cracks beneath the glaze, evidently shrinkage cracks in the clay body that occurred before or during firing. In the main register, there are some pale (dried liquid?) stains and some ingrained dirt to the finely textured ground, and surface dirt elsewhere. There are specks of modern cream coloured paint scattered on the surface, especially to one side of the foot, but these are readily removed with a fingernail, with no ill effect. The interior is dirty.
