Condition
The items are in excellent condition; no visible chips, cracks, or losses. The bowl captured left in the lost listing has a firing flaw to its exterior, which is most likely to be original to the work. The bowl captured right has very light firing flaws throughout, most likely to be original to the piece; very light wear along the interior as expected; along the footrim, there are four spots that have different color, most likely from felt patches that were attached to it previously. Both items have light wear along the underside, consistent with age and use. When inspected under UV light, there is no visible sign of restoration.
