Hairline

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Hairline
When associated with a piece of pottery, a hairline crack is about the thickness of a strand of hair, hence the name. A hairline crack can be barely seen and usually cannot be "felt".

Even though it's a small amount of damage, it still is a crack and will affect the value of the piece.

Note: The pottery will not have a clear bell ring when tapped.
