The clearer one has three shallow areas of rim fleabites/shell chips – see photos showing rims.
They’re hard to see but you can feel them (nothing sharp).
The other bowl is great, it just looks like some smoke got into the handmaking process as it’s slightly off the clear.
Both 10.8cm wide x 5cm tall.
