There is a ca. 16 x 5 cm piece broken off the rim and into two parts, and restuck (visible in the catalogue illustration). There is also a ca. 9 cm hairline crack starting at the rim and extending vertically into the cavetto. There is a small chip on the footring, and small glaze pulls on the base. There are pinpoint imperfections overall. There is some wear to the gilding, especially around the rim and on the coat-of-arms. The HOLLAND designation might have been repainted and varnished.
