This work will ship from Chicago, Illinois.

Good condition. Largest example shows narrow firing fissures to the underside, in the making, minor rubs to body, and some light wear to interior. One medium-sized example with pale ecru-colored glaze shows one tight hairline that is noticeable to bottom of its interior, but does not extend through the ceramic, and seems stable. A couple additional small examples show minor hairline fissures to glaze, not extending into ceramic. Most examples show very minor scuffs and signs of gentle handling.
