Vase, without stand; height: 14 in x diameter: 9 in. There is crazing to the glaze throughout. There is a major oval-shaped firing flaw along the upper rim measuring approx. 2 in x 1.75 in. There is an additional small firing flaw along the body and a brown discoloration, possibly another flaw, near it. There is an area of especially thick glaze near the base of the neck, which causes a slight undulation to the form. There is wear and scratches along the upper rim, consistent with use of a lid. Wear to the footrim consistent with age and use. There is a small sticker affixed along the underside. To the wooden stand there are splits throughout the platform, notably three large splits.
