This piece remains structurally sound and displays beautifully, with the hand-painted central figure and glaze retaining excellent vibrancy and gloss.
Specific Observations:
Surface / Glaze: The plate exhibits authentic "kiln soot" and "smoke" inclusions within the glaze, most notably at the 6 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions. These are original to the 1920s–30s firing process and are considered desirable "fingerprints" of early hand-crafted production.
Structural Integrity: No chips, cracks, hairlines, or professional restorations were detected. The octagonal rim is smooth and intact. See less
