In the spirit of eBay transparency of the following is noted. There is a tiny flea bite on the edge of the large pink rose. There is also a chip on the next petal on the bottom. There is a third tiny chip on the pink rose on the pedal next to the candle taper holder. The original sticker is still on the bottom. The base, which is brown has a flat backside to it. This area is not chipped or cracked. It is flat and part of the manufacturing process. Overall this is a pretty nice piece for capodimonte.
