Please review the detailed assessment below: Glaze & Lustre: Glaze CrawlingThis platter has a "Blister" it is not "damage" however I wanted to disclose the a circle is an irregular patch where the glaze has pulled away to reveal a bare circle of the cream-colored earthenware beneath it, it is called crawling. [1, 2]The Cause: This occurs if a speck of dust, oil from a decorator's hand, or a pocket of moisture was on the clay body before the glaze was applied. The glaze literally "crawls" and shrinks back into itself during firing, leaving an unglazed circular spotCrazing: Crazing not present in all sets but light crazing is present from piece to piece.Chips / Fleabites: This set has no Chips/Freabites.Paint & Detail: Preserved like new.Utensil Marks: None: This was a display/decorative set.
