In good condition: there is a short split from one of the outer piercings to the edge. There are also some fine stress cracks in the centre of the bowl spanning some of the piercings, they don't appear to be splits all the way through and there is no movement in the area under pressure. Please see the photos for this detail. No other faults or repairs. Minor handling wear, the date letter is partially obscured by placement and there is some rubbing to the leopard's head and lion passant.
