The iridescent ivory glaze naturally refracts light, creating soft tonal variations and reflective highlights across the surface; any apparent unevenness or \"patchiness\" visible in photographs is caused by light reflection on the pearly glaze and curved glossy surfaces rather than by defects or restoration. Otherwise in magnificent condition.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description.
