I questioned the seller a couple of times about both things.&nbsp; I think you&#039;d change your assessment of it if you handled it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing a strong dose of peroxide would take off is my skin.&nbsp; It wouldn&#039;t touch the stains or cracks. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t want to swop this bowl for the straight blue on white&nbsp; of the standard Carmen design. This was probably a trial design that fell foul to the 19th Century time and motion man, and the chief financial clerk.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s see what Sarreguemines-Passions say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
