Condition Report

One bowl - one or two very minor frits on the edge of the footrim and two or three on the rim of the bowl - difficult to see without magnification. The flowerhead on the underside has an area over one outer petal and two middle petals and one inner petal where the surface has lost its polish and slightly flattened. Otherwise good condition.
The other bowl generally good condition.
