Good. No visible issues/restoration under UV/blacklight. Please note that the top is unglazed, so there are some areas of handling marks on the lip of the plate. On the back where the piece is glazed there are a few areas of imperfections from firing the ceramic. Again, nothing under UV/Blacklight. Ive taken many pictures of this work so you can have a visual representation of the condition of the work. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
