CONDITION REPORT: There is a shallow chip to the top right hand corner which is approximately 2 cm long x 1 cm deep and a further glazed chip just below which is approximately 5 mm x 1.3 cm in length. There is an older chip to the bottom edge just left of centre which is a glaze chip approximately 7 mm x 5 mm. The sides are glazed and there is a small section of glazing missing to the bottom left edge, this is not a chip just flaking of the glaze. Slightly further along just off centre of the bottom edge there is a further smaller 4 mm x 3 mm glaze chip. The left hand edge has a small chip approximately 2 cm long x 6 mm wide. The right hand edge appears to be free from any post production faults as does the top edge (other than the chip previously mentioned in the top right hand corner), there is however a very small rubbed patch to the very edge of the top left side. There are no apparent cracks or signs of restoration. The glaze throughout is very crazed which should be visible on the web image. There is some residue of what we believe to be grout around the left and right hand edges. Other than those faults mentioned it appears to be in relatively good order.
