It does have a couple of blemishes, which you can see in the pictures. There is a tiny nick right under the handle. On the bottom, there is a larger nick, and what looks like glue residue, as if it were once fastened onto something else, then removed. This was a hand made piece, and there are some variations in the glaze thickness and coverage, and some air bubbles.
These pieces were made by children at the Sequoyah Orphan Training School in Oklahoma, during the 1930's and 40's. They have been featured on the Antiques Road Show, and well documented elsewhere.
