Absolutely no large chips, cracks, crazing. There is just one tiny, historic nick on the tip of one ear that has been neatly touched up with matching black finish. It blends in perfectly and does not distract from display. Please see final photo for details. The high-gloss glaze remains remarkably bright and smooth. Please note there are two minor, original factory glaze skips on the bottom (visible only when inverted). This is completely standard artifact of mid-century hand dipped Italian pottery and does not affect its structural integrity or display value. This beautiful, stately piece makes a perfect statement display on hearth, shelf, or entryway table. A wonderful addition for any vintage Italian pottery collector or cat lover! **IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK THEM BEFORE BUYING.
