There are water spots and light mineral deposits across the glossy surface from years of use as a planter, most visible under strong direct light and much less noticeable in a room. The unglazed terracotta at the base and around the drainage hole shows the wear you would expect from a pot that has held soil, including darkening and soil staining soaked into the clay. None of it affects how the pot sits or drains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe interior retains soil residue consistent with use. It can be rinsed, though staining in the unglazed clay is permanent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe plant shown in the photographs is for staging and is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54512859906361,"sku":"ikx1789953030382","price":43.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/7184\/2873\/files\/vintage-japanese-black-glazed-terracotta_1.jpg?v=1789953035","url":"https:\/\/petfirstaidkit.shop\/products\/vintage-japanese-black-glazed-terracotta","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
