Standard surface abrasions, minor chipping to border. Some stable hairline cracks partially visible on reverse. Also two old collection labels affixed to the reverse. Some areas of the glaze has pooled or accumulated on the right edge which has created a darker blue color in three areas of the water as well as some raised areas (due to extra glaze). Otherwise, overall the piece is in very good condition.
