I have seen this before but this one looks like it is under the glaze and doubt that it will come off !! I have had a few that it didn`t come off no matter what you used short of dynamite !!

Post by: bigwull on June 17, 2013, 04:50:19 AM: i,m of the opinion..that if it is under the glaze....then....it would never have been allowed to leave the factory like this....as they would,nt want this to be seen....not a good advertisement of their work...not even as a second....
