The glaze shows overall fine crazing across the whole body, inside and out, which is normal aging for faience of this type and not damage. There is light brown staining and a few small surface flecks to the interior well, consistent with long use as a soap dish. The green transfer on the front is clear and well defined. The floral transfer on the reverse is present and slightly softer. The molded scalloped rim is intact with no chips or cracks found in hand. The three raised drainer bars are all intact. A small hand-painted blue cross sits in the interior base, most likely a workshop or decorator's tally mark rather than a maker's mark. No maker's mark, pattern name, or country mark was located on the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#181\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482664010006,"sku":"AMD-03620","price":240.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_France_Inventory_Continued-10938.jpg?v=1785433460","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/vintage-french-faience-soap-dish-boar-hunting-transfer","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
