Provenance: Purchased by the consignor in September, 1989 from Betty and Joel Schatzberg, Riverside, CT. Chips to inner rim for lid. Some scattered, in-the-firing granular black flecking to surface. Tight cracks to underside including a few extending onto base area. Surface staining, primarily to sides and reverse. H 10 3/4".
