Condition Report:
The ceramic is sound. There are a few small nicks and small hairline firing cracks to the edges. There are also a few losses to the edges of the verso, likely inherent to the tile at the time of execution. There is some light surface dirt in places and the unglazed parts of the work are faded. This work is in overall good condition.
