Additional Notes & Condition Report
Green Turtleback Tile: scattered chip losses along the outer rim edge area
Red Turtleback Tile: scattered chip losses along the outer rim edge area
Blue Square "Confetti" Tile: there are approximately six chip losses to the applied star-shaped feet on the underside as well as a small "straw" line in one of the square quadrants on the underside, in the making, not of any consequence; otherwise, the tile appears to be in generally good condition
"Waffle" Tile: there are approximately two small chip losses to the outer rim edge at two different ends; there are some internally trapped air bubbles in the glass, in the making, not of great consequence; both sides are glossy, however, one side is flat and this flat side has large sections around the outer edge that are dulled, presumably, having to do with the making process, not of great consequence
