2008.7.28 Fragment. Decoration worn and chipped on both exterior and rim. "Aig Aphr" (transliterated from Greek) handwritten in pencil on the interior; indicates the Sanctuary of Aphrodite at Aegina (see Provenance).
25.8.4 Difficult to see main design due to erosion of paint but intact despite small chip in body.
25.8.7 Complete but not intact. Can see the join on the inside of the figurine. Lots of flaking on the surface of the figurine, and evidence of white deposit around the face and feet, as well as down the side of the left leg.
26.12.20 Missing handle, but we can see the remains of where it should have been. There are small chips on the rim of the neck, and the black has begun to rub away. At the base of the neck is a small amount of white deposit, which we can also see on the main zone. The main zone has been worn away in the middle and near one edge. There are small scratches and flaking decoration at the top of the foot.
26.2.1 Single fragment, but joins London, British Museum B 100 and B 601.26 (see Williams)
34.10.27 Much colour loss and erosion of relief makes it hard to see. Some small parts have crumbled away at the base. Dark deposits in small amounts all over.
39.8.5 Glaze remains and detail is clear in paint but thinned glaze is becoming harder to see.
L.2013.10.7 Intact but deposits on the surface make seeing the iconography very difficult. Poor condition makes it impossible to see if there are any inscriptions. The coin edge is very uneven.
L.2016.3.10 Badly worn surface, so it's difficult to see any details of the features and hair. Light grey-yellowish deposits on the interior of the object as well as the handle and rim.
TEMP.2002.7.1 Intact. The rim suffers from several chips, one in particular quite large, opposite one of the handles. There is also evidence of wear on the glaze, as there is on the inside of the bowl. On the band inside the bowl can be found three deeper scratches, as well as the occasional small hole. The handles of the bowl also reveal small chips on their glaze, as well as small scratches. The band which leads down to and envelops the top of the foot, contains small scratches, and where it meets the foot are lots of small cracks in the glaze. There is also some yellowy/grey deposit, which we can also see on the base of the foot. The base is chipped slightly in places and there are small scratches in the glazed bands.
TEMP.2002.9.2 Five fragments remain in two pieces (one has three rejoined and the other has two). Paint remains clear enough to see the picture. Glaze is streaky inside but silvery on the outside.
