Condition Report: There are scattered light scratches to the exterior. There are scattered small losses (each 1/4 inch-diameter or less) to the glaze: five located in the center of the interior, four on the interior near the mouth rim, one or two on the interior wall, approximately 4-5 (including a shallow chip) on the exterior, and several along the exterior mouth rim.
