8.15.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 1050- please pardon my images, the vase is highly reflective, any white you see is glare, not an imperfectionthe vase is impressive in size and stands sturdy upon the table surface, a careful UV examination reveals no evidence of restoration, chips or cracks, I note a very few inherent imperfections such as a few scattered glaze pops (see image), fine crazing, particularly evident at lower vase and visible in the online photos, the rim has a small area of roughness along the side edge, there is also small line here (see image), this may be a tiny contained hairline, as I do feel it with my nail, it does not appear to extend to the underside of the rim or neck/body of the piece, please see attached images for your review
