All three are in good overall condition.
1) The lacquer interior has been chipped / peeled away around the rim in five places, the largest approx. 3cm x 1cm. Minor old cracking to the original material.
2) The root wood shallow vessel has extensive old wear to the surface. There are five areas on the exterior where the root has been carved to create a smooth finish. There are two sections where the natural irregular sides of the root have been infilled with wood to create a more uniform edge.
3) There is a notable old crack which runs from the top edge (approx. 5cm long, 1cm wide at the rim). The base is carved from a separate section of lighter-coloured hardwood.
