Additional Notes & Condition Report
appears to be in generally good condition; there are a few scattered small flake losses to the glazed surface, notably, to one side of the fish's "mustache" fin, not of great consequence; there are a few paint splatters located to the interior side of the vase and a few other minor splatter spots on the exterior side, not of great consequence (and can probably be easily removed); not black lighted
