Condition Report
Neck rim good. Wear to the enamel decoration on the body in places: in some areas, there is only partial decoration to the leaves, which may be related to artistic technique in some cases, but in other cases this is likely to be associated with wear to the decoration. This is particularly notable to the lower section of the body. Medium wear to the underside. Factory marks clear.
