Slight firing fissure on lid rest but this is overglazed. Very good blue. Small firing bubble on neck above O that is a slightly lighter blue.

At base of top blue band a slightly darker line of about 5cm exists. Through the lettering of O and N is the finest white line as if the letters were not quite accurately constructed during manufacture. Again this is me being fussy. On the upper rim there is some roughness and light pinprick speckles. Lid is very clean on underside. Very few specks on the top.
