A few sections of the mouthrim have been slightly discoloured. The foot has a shallow chip of approx. 0.9 cm, an adjacent shallow flake, and a section which has possibly been slightly polished. Otherwise the bowl is in overall good condition, except for some expected firing imperfections, including some minor kiln specks, trapped and burst air bubbles to the interior.
