Appears to be in good condition and retaining its original quality. There is a miniscule chip to the rim although very minor. Firing imperfection is present to the inside of the foot; this is not visible from the exterior. The glaze to the finely potted rim appears to be flaking away. Under UV light one can see three minute lightened areas to the rim suggesting an expert restoration. Overall, the dish retains its exquisite form and quality.
