Overall in generally good appearance. There is an area of fill at the edge of the central well located at 12 o'clock, perhaps a filled in hole which had been used for hanging; there are three associated hairline cracks, only visible to the front face, perhaps crazing cracks). At 7 o'clock there is a repaired flat rim chip to the front, and at 9 o'clock another to the reverse. The repairs have some age. Otherwise typical scattered glaze lose and minor nibble chips to rim.
