Truly an exceptional piece in exceptionally excellent condition! NO cracks, NO chips, NO repairs. Good shiny glaze. One kiln dust speck under glaze upper right well corner. Smooth, recessed rim with a rubbing area on the bottom rim edge. Rubbing wear to the flat bottom. Some grainy kiln specks underglaze on the backside well. One, tri-corner stilt mark apparent on the backside rim. Just a few teensy, insignificant, scratches to the well & at 12 O'clock on the inside rim edge. Glaze appears as new! one dye miss on the boulders in the direction to which the lady points.
