Condition Report

A few surface scratches to the Hibiscus dish, commensurate with age. A single line of crazing visible to one petal of the Hellebore dish

Reeds at Sunset has some wide crazing throughout. The Hellebore has a few lines of crazing to the right-hand side of the front and to the reverse centre. It has a dark brown line through one of the painter's marks (J), but this does not appear to be a factory second marking.
