Condition
In overall very good condition with no visible losses, cracks or repairs. Piece exhibits fine crazing throughout glaze, and there is an innate firing flaw (probably glaze pop) to the rim, and another to the bottom (small loss inside the glaze) that likely came off in the firing process. Inkwell/jar has a ceramic liner that is stuck.
