No cracks detected. The spout with one chip and some wear. The rim with two unobtrusive chips, one of which appears to be from the time of firing, some nicks, a few light abrasions, and some surface chips to the body of the pitcher. Some light surface dirt, in particular to the handle where there are two small orange marks. The handle also with one chip, which appears to have some light cosmetic restoration, a further tiny chip to the glaze, and some scattered surface scratching. The underside with one chip, some general wear and scuff marks, and an old adhesive label. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
