Condition (Please note that we have a “no unpleasant surprises” policy regarding condition reports and try to list all defects, however small): There is one petal and the edge of another lost from the flower finial of the cover, which matches the teapot but appears to be a fractionally brighter white than the body, so we are unsure whether it is a replacement. There is a tiny, pin-point sized mark that feels rough to the touch on the upper rim of the teapot aperture and a tiny firing flaw beneath it on the inner rim. There are scattered small chips to the base rim of the teapot. No restoration was found under examination with ultraviolet light.
