One is on the back edge, it is a significant chip of about .75" x .3". The other is on the opposite edge, of about .3" but I am not sure that it isn't a firing flaw. There are other little imperfections that happened during the process of making it. The handles are in great condition with no cracks or damage.&nbs...p; Some of the blue of the flowers has smeared. Please view the pictures carefully. Shipping includes signature confirmation and insurance
