Condition:
In good antique condition. One edge has the common stilt marks which appear like chips and/or scuffs but are actually natural from the making (pic #10). One very small shallow edge chip is not related to the stilt marks (pic #9). There is crazing throughout the pin from age. Pencil like lines running across do not appear like hairline cracks but mostly like underglaze pottery stresslines after close examination (pic #6). Inside one of the pin holes we detected a chip which is not visible with the handles on (pic #11). No repairs. Wooden handles have a nice aged patina and function properly despite the small wood cracks by the threading (pic #12). If there are any other flaws/imperfections on the stoneware such as glaze/paint skips and glaze pops etc. they are natural from the making. Comes as seen and as made.
Approximate measurements:
Diameter: 3"
