condition
condition
In excellent condition: the drainer has a firing fault at the rim and the associated weakness has led to a subsequent small glaze loss / fractional slither chip. No other issues, damage, repair or restoration. Minimal handling wear. The printing on both pieces is nice and clear but there is a tonal difference with the blue being a bit inkier on the drainer.
