So some other things that I can show you that are minor which would be obvious in crocks
like this. You would see lines that cracking and one of the things that I like people to
know about collecting cracks with cobalt decoration is if you have a crock that has a line and
goes right down the center of that cobalt there is nothing that a restore could do to
resurface this area where there is damage to the cobalt. So if you find a crock that
has damage right down the center it's that is going to be what it looks like because
it can't be repair. Any other cracks or lines on a crock can be restore so that is something
to keep in mind when you are buying. You are going to find there is little tiny there's
chips and cracks like this where the surface has been *** against something and you know
it is going to happen over time cause these crocks where made to use so it is natural
that they are going to *** and chip around. There is another good example of a nice big
chunk taking out of the top of this jug a straight jug. Then here on this crock over
here I thing we have another example of some damage. You would find damage on these it
is very typical on these crocks the ears would get chipped or broken off completely and these
things could be actually repair. So it is not unusual to find the ears broken off or
chipped. So some examples I mean when you really when you looked for a crock and it
is damage if you pick a crock like this and you *** on it tap on the side and you hear
a really really dull sound you know there is a line or some sort of cracking in it so
you need to look a little closer to see if there is cracking in it.
