More Information

The bowl has probably been cleaned. A few minor dents/bashes to the interior with age-related staining/scratches and wear more prominent to the rim of the interiors. One dragon handle is slightly off centre. Only small issues with the dragon handles at the joins (age-related gaps and separation). Apart from that, the detail to the handles is good. Embossed decoration is good. Marks and inscription is clear. Minor age-related surface stains/marks to areas of the bowl also.
