This fantastic and rare survival is in excellent condition. There are some fine marks to the interior of the cups rim which most likely happened during the firing, apart from this there are no obvious signs of damage or restoration. There is some minor fritting to the edges of the saucer, and a very small chip, otherwise it appears unblemished.
