Collecting notes & condition

Selected for the wucai palette and Buddhist-lion subject, while the visible cracking makes condition review central to any decision.

The catalogue records three star-shaped cracks visible from inside the jar and warns that prior damage, restoration or repair may not be fully described. Request a complete condition report and independent inspection. Located in New Hyde Park, New York, USA; local pickup and shipping are listed. Confirm packing, insurance, taxes and transport costs. The estimate is not a sale price or value guarantee; OACA provides non-exclusive agency service only.
