Condition
The ceramic is in overall good condition. There are 5 chips to the underside of the plate where imperfections in the clay have been repelled over time. This is inherent to the material. There is a diagonal hairline crack to the plate running from the center of the lower edge to the background approximately 5 inches below the top edge. There are traces of firing kiln furniture marks to the underside of the plate which are the result of the production process. Otherwise fine.
