Condition
In ready-to-place condition. Firing cracks, crazing and other manufacturing flaws visible, though none causing concern for the structural integrity or overall appearance of the work. The lower inch of one wing appears to have been previously cracked and reglued, with residual tape remaining near that repair. Examination under UV shows glue residue beneath some of the pigeons, suggesting that these may have been previously detached and reglued.diameter: 18 in.
