Condition
height: 15 3/4 in.width: 13 3/4 in.depth: 13 in.In overall fair to good condition. The work is very dusty, and we note accumulated grime around the inner rim of the bath itself, a yellow residue that could be considered old wax or glue. A few splashes of blue matter can be seen on the outside. Slight abrasions along the outside rim. We notice a repaired leg (front, to the left). The leg diagonally opposite it shows signs of early cracks at its base, but remains stable. Additional images available upon request.
