Condition: Good. No visible issues under UV/Blacklight (no repairs/ cracks/ chips), there are some areas of imperfections from the firing of the glaze from when the work was made, but no damage besides wear to the bottom. If youre really looking for something there are firing/glazing imperfections to the surface with bites throughout. There are 2 small areas near the chin of the jugs face, a small glaze bump the size of the dot of a ballpoint pen (see UV/Blacklight image) and another that protrudes from the glaze. Otherwise, its a good looking piece in good shape. No repairs/cracks/chips apparent.
