Condition

There is a crack close to the spout and a further one to the right hand turned out side. These appear to have occurred during the firing process and seem entirely stable. There are some very minor areas of rubbing to parts of the glaze and some small air bubbles inherent to the firing process. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
