The blue-glazed dish: Approximately 1/3 of the rim was misfired, resulting in a slightly bubbly surface. One 1/2 inch chip on the rim with some minor glaze chips. A 1/4 inch glaze chip on the foot rim. The 'langyao' dish: In good overall condition with a 1 cm rim chip and minor surface abrasions to the interior. The 'sanduo' bowl: The rim of this bowl has been ground down. There are scratches to the exterior of the bowl, particularly close to the rim. There is a horizontal area spanning 2cm long just under the rim where the glaze has been scratched off. One iron spot and negligible kiln grit on the interior well.
