Condition The bowl displays well overall, but it is not perfect. It has glaze crazing, some of which has darkened. There is a fine hairline crack from the rim downward, extending about 1 3/4 inches (visible in the 6th photo, left hand side). It is difficult to discern as a hairline crack rather than a craze line, but this is the only line that I found that appears to go through the clay to the opposite side. There are scattered, small glaze flakes to the top rim, interior, and foot. There are some minor clay chips to the foot. There is a minor scratch to the side. As made, there are minor manufacturing flaws on this rustic pottery item, such as rim asymmetry, variations in glazing, minor surface flaws, etc. In some areas, the decoration is blurry or faint.
