~InEXCELLENTcondition for age!Some vintage wear with age. Colors vibrant, clean. There is faint crazing to glaze as expected with age. Note: this piece has a unique satin finish with several layers of glazing under the milky white top layer which makes a few of the crazing linesappear as \"pencil marks\" revealing the darker/gray glaze underneath.See pictures #5 & #6 as examples. There is a hairline crazing line on front revealing the darker glaze as shown. There is no break or repair here. It is smooth on surface only with a bit of a rough feel to edge where other crazing lines meet as glaze is thick here. It is a bit deceiving so please view pictures as I do not want you to think this was damaged in shippingupon arrival.Being extra picky in this condition description for my buyers.With the exception of a few of these gray crazing lines, the lighter milky white crazing is observed only on upon very close inspection.Some scuffs and gray crazing lines to very back of piece.
