The glaze with scattered minor burst air bubbles and surface inclusions, inherent in production. The underside with some yellowing to the glaze, around the signature possibly inherent in production. The inner rim with traces of kiln shelf, inherent in production. The work has been inspected under ultra violet light and it appears that no visible restoration has been undertaken.
