- A curved chip or divot on back corner (see photos).
- The weathervane is slightly crooked as pictured.
- What appears to be a faint diagonal crack on the bottom of the piece also shows on the inside. Please see the photos and the closeup as this may be a weak spot in the porcelain and purchase is “as is”.
