4/17/23 2:00pm - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 708: From a visual examination only, I note the chocolatero is intact with no apparent restorations or fractures, some crazing, pitting, and inherent imperfections, thin areas of glaze in some areas, wear around top rim under the iron lid – as commensurate with rubs from the lid, as well as some oxidization, the bottom rim with some small typical chips and wear. We are not experts, please do ask further questions.
