More Information

There appear to be firing issues with this vase. There is an internal curled hairline to the base which doesn't come through nor look like a previous break that has been restored. In then looking at the footrim and the lower section, there are crazed lines that look like hairlines but are crazed lines. The foot looks to have been restored but on inspection it looks like the glaze hasn't taken very well and so has creased in places. In then looking at the underside base, the clear glaze is so thickly applied, it is heavily crazed and has left blobs of glaze behind. The neck has similar issues to the rim.
