Any white spots in the photos are reflections of lighting and not defects. Condition is vintage used, no cracks or repairs. There is a small shallow chip at the rim near the signature - see different angles of the same chip in photos 6, 7, 8 & 9. I hyper focused the camera lens in #9 so that it looks like a big old wart but I think it is barely visible. I first noticed it when preparing to take photos. There is evidence of light wear on the bottom underside. Dimensions:Height - 2.5" Diameter - 11.5"Weight - 1 lb 9 oz Georges Briard: Jakub Brojdo was born in Ukraine and raised in Poland.
