There is some slight scratching to the enamel colours particularly around the shoulder, the odd minor firing imperfection to the glaze and the walls of the garden have matt areas of white enamel on them which initially might look like restoration but is definitely hard enamel, no evidence of restoration on the inside of the vase either, essentially in good condition with no restoration, chips or cracks.
