Condition • Excellent vintage condition overall • No chips, cracks, or repairs • Minor glaze irregularities typical of handmade pottery • Light surface wear and faint glaze crazing in places, consistent with age • Ribbon shows slight age wear but is intact (can be removed if preferred) Notes for Buyers • Photos taken in natural light for accurate colour representation • Ideal as a decorative piece, flower arranger, or for collectors of Welsh studio pottery
