This is a beautiful bowl BUT not perfect. There are marks from kiln furniture on the sides and firing errors on the rim. These errors are not chips. However, there is one firing error on the rim (approximately 1/8 inch)  that could be considered a chip. Finally it has hand glazed imperfections on the sides which have a poured on glaze appearance. All of the these "errors" could have been intentional. Please see photos and zoom in.
