Crazing to the glaze visible, with other small areas of firing flaws. Rubbing and minor losses to the decoration visible. There are three vertical hairlines visible from the exterior and interior of the vessel, each about 2 to 4 inches in length. There are a couple of other hairline cracks visible to the underside of the bowl that are concealed by the decoration to the interior of the bowl. Examination under UV shows little evidence of restoration except for two small areas to the interior of the bowl, both of which are visible to the naked eye and are likely firing issues that were later mended. Chips and minor frets to the rim of the bowl and the foot rim.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
