There are minor water stains on the surface and some scratches to the bottom. The central brushpot has three cracks radiating from the replaced plug on the base, the longest approximately 5.5 cm and filled. A serial number is written on the plug in black pigment. There are two minute splits in the wood grain at the rim, the longer approximately 2.5 cm long.
