Condition
There are two very tiny firing cracks to the foot of the base. There are bloats to the clay and glaze body, which has resulted in one rupture to the glaze and a tiny fleck of associated loss to the glaze on the lower part of the belly. Elsewhere there are minor pin holes visible to the glaze, and slight crazing, most apparent to the light cream glaze on the top half of the piece.
