More Information

The piece shows evidence of restoration to the hat and boots, and possible restoration to the held jug. There are firing cracks to the handle, the left sleeve, the legs where they join the seat, the interior of the handle, and the handle of the held jug. There is the odd firing pit and frit, and various small glazing faults to the surface. The piece shows surface crazing throughout, including craze lines to the handle which run around the exterior to the interior.
