Decorative Asian Serving Bowl
Overall, very good condition except for minor, faint stress(?) crack along one side measures 3" long from top rim. You can see the crack along the inside but cannot feel it. The beginning of the crack at rim shows 1/4" long x 1/32" wide "gouge" on the outside. You cannot detect the crack any further than the 1/4" along the outside.
Approximately 10 1/4" across top. Base is 4 3/4" diameter. Stands 4 1/4" high.
