5/25/23 9:30am - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 822: As described, there is some roughness and small chips at rim. I note some inherent pitting, roughness around bottom rim, surface wear and discoloration to body, a star fracture underfoot, with some visible lines and small star fractures to interior, I observe that a slightly raised horizontal band at the center of the jar is reactive under UV light, but am not sure if this is a restoration or inherent to the making.
