Condition Report:
The ceramic is sound. There is a a fine hairline vertical crack to the centre of the plate underneath the glaze (approximately 8cm) inherent to the firing process. There is a chip to the right edge of the foot of the plate and a few minuscule chips to the edge of the plate and to the foot of the dish. There is some minor wear to the reverse, consistent with age and the firing process. This work is in overall good condition.
