Condition

4.16.2026- In my opinion regarding LOT: 1388- a thorough UV light examination reveals no major chips, cracks, or apparent restorations, the teapot has a minute chip at inner rim (not seen but felt), the flower petal on this piece is also rough on the edge however appears glazed, otherwise I note only some slight dust and dirt, minor marks and slight wear commensurate with light use
