As visible in the lot photographs, there has been some damage to the rim restored with a kintsugi repair. Another smaller spot repair to the rim and a fine hairline (ca. 3 cm) blending with the natural crackle of the glaze. Typical surface wear to interior and footrim. Overall a finely thrown piece with a tactile and bright glaze.
If a condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot, it is for guidance purposes only. Such condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alterations, or adaptations because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather a condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's. For these reasons, any such condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. Prospective buyers should also refer to the Guide for Buyers at Auction which includes important notices concerning the type of property in this sale.
