The rim has been polished and there is expected wear to the bowl's surface and footring. There are minor manufacturing imperfections, including scattered small dark spots and glaze gaps to the exterior. The rim was added after the Sotheby's New York sale of 7th November 1980; it is unevenly applied but still secure. Five labels are applied to the exterior and base.
