Condition: the handle has been professionally and subtley repaired (preserving the original surface), and there has also been a carefully filled in small chip to the rim which takes some attention to find. On the reverse is a small filled rim chip and another to the edge of the sharp vein leading to the main point. A very short glaze line can be seen on the reverse to the side of the stalk.
