Condition: The teabowl is in very good condition with minor glaze fritting at the rim. The grisaille scene in the interior is rubbed, but the scenes on the outside of the bowl are in good condition, as can be appreciated from the pictures. The rim originally had a gilt band applied, and this has substantially worn away.
