There are areas where the crackle glaze is 'deeper', and is darker than other areas (please see photos for details). There is a small area where the glaze is beginning to chip off to the exterior. Some possible fine star crack hairlines to the body. All wear commensurate with age. Examined under UV. Please contact the department for additional condition images.
