The glazing has inconsistencies, including a thinness to the edge and several rings (these almost resemble the sorts of rings that a glass of water might leave on a coffee table). The is a reddish mark (seemingly a part of the glaze?) in the line extending down from the eye on the right. There is a fleck of clay that was fired into the plate to the left of the two vertical lines below the smile. There is also a divot (that seems to have been fired into the clay?) to the right of the right eye. The chip on the underside is as described.
