There are no nicks, chips, cracks, fissures, repairs, or deep utensil marks or scratches (see photos). They have been cleaned, and food-safe oil has been applied to nourish the wood. Any imperfections in the grain or craftsmanship are innate, and any wear is commensurate with age and past usage. Not dishwasher safe. The bowls should be hand-washed with mild soap and dried with a cloth or towel.
