Three crescent-shaped cobalt brush marks are present around the foot — a charming kiln annotation characteristic of hand-fired porcelain, not found on later transfer-printed wares.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n The glaze shows the correct kiln pooling, fine firing speckles, and natural foot patina, consistent with age.
