Repaired from multiple large pieces, with light restoration to area between cup and stem, and resurfacing and light overpainting along new material and break lines. Abrasions and nicks to rim, body, stem, and foot, with fading to original pigmentation, and some encrustations. Nice traces of original pigment throughout.
