<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4519818, member: 51"]I've already ID'd these, just want to get some descriptive words for some issues on a few edges. Obviously I could say "flea bites" but I don't think that is correct. I suspect instead that the rough spots possibly came out of the manufacturing process. If I'm correct, there a descriptive word for this?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]398069[/ATTACH] </p><p>Several photos below of what I'm talking about. There is another partial set online and they describe "edge wear" and it looks a bit like this. So apparently not just my set. Areas are rough to the touch, and at first I thought a chip or fleabite, but when you look at a close-up almost looks like maybe where the coaster was held by the edge during the manufacturing process possibly? Looks like the glaze is pushed aside a bit:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]398070[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]398071[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]398072[/ATTACH] </p><p>I suppose could be a combination of things, but this is the only wear on these, all exactly in the same spot --some have none, but those that do are in exactly the same location. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]398073[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have thoughts or words to describe this?
