Condition Report: Repaired on the foot and up one side from the foot to approximately halfway up the body. Very light deposits on surface and faint silvery iridescence. Vessel possesses a pontil scar or mark which indicates that the vessel was free-blown. (The absence of such a mark would suggest that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or worn away over time.)
