Condition

CONDITION:

Base: Generally good.

Usual wear. Split to stem of one twig.



Some tarnishing.





Bowl: One under rim chip.



Very slight wear to the bowl interior.

The join between the bowl and the base is strong enough for decorative purposes, but would need strengthening to support heavy objects.
