This is such an attractive cheese dish. The base has a small area of restoration to one corner, has a little minor surface scratching otherwise is fine. The cover has a hairline to one top corner, noticeable mainly from inside. It also has some staining mainly to the lower rim and inside. As usual sounds much worse than it looks, this is a wonderful display piece.
