Great addition to your collection. Large black matte "Haunted" birdhouse. The speckles you may see are from a paper towel I used to dry off the birdhouse after wiping it down. This was for display on a shelf. As collectors know, Rae Dunn pieces will show individual markings, pits, etc. I purchased this with a mold indentation in the front, see photos. It was not damaged or repaired. No cracks or chips. I have other Halloween and Christmas listings too! Thank you for looking. Happy Haunting and Hunting!
