Excellent vintage condition with minor wear. A couple of very minor flea bites along the rim, typical of delicate antique and vintage hand-painted porcelain of this age. Also there is a tiny original kiln firing speck on the upper white surface, characteristic of vintage hand fired French studio porcelain. Script studio inscription ("Peint à la main pour Primavera") and artist signature ("Ferran") remain crisp and fully legible.
