Condition Report:
The neck of the vase appears to be potted separately and joined to the vase (there is a luting line at the junction between the shoulder and the body showing on the interior and repaints showing to the exterior around the base of the neck), which may indicate that this has been done at a later date, although the decoration and ruby red enamel on both, the neck, shoulder and foot are well matching. There is some scratching in scattered areas around the shoulder and the foot. There is a small glaze gap near the iron red mark with a thin forked hairline extending in the glaze, probably original to the firing. The mark is otherwise rubbed. There are some expected firing imperfections, including iron spots, burst bubbles.
