Overall in very good condition . Professional restoration to the mouth/rim, with associated retouching to the gilt foliate ornament on the cobalt-blue neck, the colour and pattern well matched; the intervention is visible on close inspection/raking light, as a slight difference in the sheen and definition of the gilt. No other faults observed.
