45.10.31 very damaged. Came from a lot that had been bombed during the Blitz in 1945
49.8.9 Intact, except for tiny chips on the rim and three small gouges on the lower body. The vessel's condition is very good, as the paint is not worn and the glaze remains. There is a dent in the body but this was made during production. Only slight wearing of the purple dots but not so as they become indistinguishable.
74.7.3 Small chip on rim, where gloss is worn; Good quality black gloss; Gloss flaked off rim and around the ring of the foot; white deposits on inside and on handle. Red misfired line around the ring of the foot probably caused during the firing in the kiln.
