Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a truly nice piece with rich, fresh, and vivid colors, which would display very well in your collection.
Condition: The piece is in very good condition with no cracks, hairlines, or repairs. The piece has general crazing to the glaze. The piece is lightly soiled and would probably benefit from a good cleaning, but we leave that to the new owner. The only thing we see is two small chips on the bottom of the foot of the piece, which we try to show in the 7th photo to the left of the foot. Be that as it may, this is great looking and would display nicely in your collection or as a decorative accent in your home. Please see photos for additional condition information.
