<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 192118, member: 37"]Your first new pic shows pretty clearly that this is a post-production chip. You can see how it impacts the edge of the glaze and where it hits the glaze is somewhat sharp. If it was a pre-production chip to the greenware, the glaze would at least slightly fill in the indentation and be more smooth. The crumbly stuff are likely mineral deposits that have been caused by either sitting in water or having leached out of the pottery due to infiltration.</p><p><br /></p><p>Agree that the second is of little consequence. It may be where the pot was broken from a stilt after firing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
