Condition
Collection label on base. Repaired from several pieces with break lines barely visible on interior and some areas of restoration with new material around rim. Expected surface wear commensurate with age with some light abrasions, pitting, and tiny nicks in areas. Otherwise, very nice with impressive remaining pigments and lovely earthen deposits in recessed areas.
