Please note that the catalogue photograph is not accurate. The blue areas appear purple/blue in the photograph, however in reality they are more a cobalt blue. In reality in our opinion the colors are more attractive than how they appear in the photograph. The top rim has a tiny pin head nick - however this is so small/minor that in our opinion it does not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the work.
