Condition:
Very good, vintage, used condition, with crazing throughout and a fair amount of wear to the color and glaze, on the interior only, of the bowl (see photos above.) It appears as if this piece was possibly used to hold something, or as a planter, that caused the wearing away of the finish. There is also a slight haziness to the luster finish, in areas such as the pedestal base, that is to be expected with lusterware of this age. All of imperfections in the finish are part of production. There are no chips or cracks.
