There are two very small discoloured areas (the larger approx. 0.4 x 0.2 cm) to the rim, which may have been caused by restorations with associated infills. There are also some light wear to the matte surface, small chips to the foot as well as minor and characteristic firing imperfections, including a few minute glaze burst bubbles.
