Condition:
In very good condition. The right edge has a fine superficial surface hairline circling the handle and does not comprise the the structure of the pin in any way. The left edge has the common rash type markings from the making. Some crazing throughout the pin from age to expected but hard to notice if not examining closely. Wooden handles are screwed on tightly and we have not removed them to inspect the interior of the pin. However, the handles still roll and function properly. We will be shipping this one with the handles intact. If there are any other flaws/imperfections in 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"
