Condition
Both the bowl and teacup are in good condition with no cracks, crazing, or losses. When inspected under UV light, both did not show any sign of restoration. There are some minor firing and glazing flaws throughout both pieces, original to the artistic process. The bowl does not have any visible chips; however, the teacup has two minute chips to its rim. Wear to the foot rims, consistent with their use and age. Please contact us for a detailed condition report. Please note that the lack of a condition statement does not imply perfect condition.
