Chips on the bottom edge and general small/tiny chips and roughness to the edges but such damage is almost the norm for such tiles. Surface condition is very good, a few short and light scratches, note the feint line from just right of top middle is a mark in the tin glaze and not a crack. A nice, clean tile in good blues.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. A larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format can be forwarded by email if required.

The image is a little oversize rather than cropped close to the edges so that the edges can easily be seen and any chips etc can be quickly spotted. Other marks described are usually not visible at all when the tile is viewed straight as one normally sees it and can only be seen with a critical eye when the tile is tilted to catch imperfections in reflected light. For more details of how we describe marks see Condition.
