Dr. Rudolf Schmidt (1900-1970) collection, Solothurn, thence by descent to the present owner
Very thinly carved delicate vessel. A small infilled hole on one side of the bowl where the alabaster is particularly thin. Approx. 1.6 cm. at its longest point. The top edge on one side of the spout at the end with a slight decline which might possibly be a worn down chip to that edge. A stable hairline fracture running down from the rim of the vessel approx. 2 cm. into the bowl. Minor speckled surface dirt encrustation. Interior with label reading "12"
